Streaming in San Antonio

If you prefer streaming movies at home, this week's weather calls for a throwback.

Zoom in: "From Dusk Till Dawn" is the 1996 action and horror movie co-written and directed by San Antonio-born Robert Rodriguez, of "Spy Kids" fame.

Don't let the critics fool you — if you keep an open mind, this is pure cinematic brilliance.

• The film feels like two movies in one, opening with two brothers (George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino) on the run to Mexico after committing a crime.
• The border bar they end up at just happens to be the headquarters for a bunch of vampires. We can't say much more without spoiling it.

What's next: Watch this surprising connection to San Antonio by renting it on Amazon Prime or streaming for free on Pluto.
