Because infidelity is a type of sin. The music is what brings all these people together and provides a soundtrack for all the sinning that's going on. Preacher boy fuels all the gambling, adultery, and drinking with his music. That attracts the devil and makes him ask to be let in. And so for some money they go and let the devil in. Theres a lot more to it I think and the movie touched on so many interesting themes.
This is the best analysis I’ve seen! Thanks!

People always used to mention dusk till dawn because of Selma hayek....i never heard anybody say its their favorite anything until this movie was released......how random :mjpls:
fukkin NOBODY gives a shyt about from dusk til dawn...thats why this discourse that started only AFTER the movie became a success is so transparent and bullshyt. QT doesn't even claim it like that...nobody likes that bullshyt lmao..it is barely cult status

a central character turns into a vampire in a vampire flick :gladbron:


two criminal brothers on the run :gladbron:



you left out 90% of the film's plot and didn't go past two superficial/service level nods that its clear you don't even know how to watch a film

coogler even clowning simple minded folks like you:

This is not like The Faculty though. The Faculty a copy of Puppet Masters/Body Snatchers, which all lean into acceptance and assimilation to become a part of something bigger. But in all of those movies, we're always following a handful of people trying to maintain their sanity and humanity, while the world turns around them.

If you want to say those themes are present, they would've showed up earlier than 2/3s into the movie. Or at least been hinted at. earlier in the movie. All Vampire movies have the theme of luring people with promises of contributing to something greater, but they have to suck the life out of you in order for you to "achieve it".

I see much more of From Dusk til Dawn, with the only difference being it doesn't lean as much into B-Movie camp throughout the entire movie. The criminal brothers on the run, a preacher-type, a bar, a bunch of unique/wacky/personality characters, defending against vamps as they are turned one-by-one...even the Tarantino/Rodriguez-esque gore. All of this doesn't happen until the joint becomes the main setting. Actually, it turns into B-movie camp once Remmick is introduced.

Maybe I’m forgetting but the difference is through The Faculty/Body Snatchers/Sinners is the threat is coming from someplace else trying to get in.

The Dusk twist was the gangsters were the outside threat cause that was an ancient place disguised as something else.
