No, Robert directed both halves.  Its pretty obvious watching it that there's no change in the directing style.  If you see "Full Tilt Boogie," though, you'll see Robert and Quentin talking about how they didn't want there to be any indication of what was going to happen to these guys for the first half of the film.  Their primary example for their reasoning was Stephen King, who doesn't even get into the horror element of his books until halfway through the movie, so that you can connect with the characters more (something along those lines).  I think that the problem though is that even Stephen King foreshadows at least some in his books.  Maybe if they foreshadowed a little to the vampire element at the beginning it would have turned out a little better.  Aside from its poor sense of timing, though, I think "From Dusk till Dawn" is a kick ass crime/action/horror (horror in the loosest possible definition) film.
