On the run from the law, Seth and Richie Gecko (George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino) take a lapsed preacher (Harvey Keitel) and his family hostage. Once safely in Mexico, they decide to await the dawn in a wild strip club. This is when shit gets real crazy...

In 1988, makeup and effects wizards Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger came together and formed K.N.B. EFX Group. Though each individual member came to the table with an impressive body of work, the struggling start-up was looking for a way to showcase what they were capable of. Through friends of friends they met the perfect screenwriter to pen their exhibition, Quentin Tarantino. Though the film wasn't made until 1996, it was worth the wait. This film is one hell of an effective effects calling card! Blood, guts and creatures-o-plenty! Today K.N.B. is one of the most reputable effects houses around with credits ranging from the current TV hit The Walking Dead to their Oscar win for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Not bad for a trio of gore-hounds ey?
