Watch Quicksilver Highway For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Great Film overall

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Eccentric itinerant rare object collector Aaron Quicksilver (marvelously played with lip-smacking quirky relish by Christopher Lloyd) relates two offbeat tales of terror. First and cutest story, "Chattery Teeth" - Amiable traveling salesman Bill Hogan (a fine and likable portrayal by Raphael Sbarge) picks up psychotic hitchhiker Bryan Adams (a pleasingly grating and intense turn by Silas Weir Mitchell) and a strange wind-up toy during a drive home. This segment makes nifty use of the dusty desert back roads location, generates a good deal of tension, and boasts a hysterically goofy climax with the chattering teeth toy attacking Adams in an upside down van. Veteran character actress Veronica Cartwright has a neat secondary role as crusty diner owner Myra while the fetching Missy Crider does well as cheery newlywed bride Olivia Harmon Parker. Second, funniest, and most delightfully outrageous story, "The Body Politic" - Wealthy and prestigious plastic surgeon Dr. Charles George (a splendidly saturnine performance by Matt Frewer) has his affluent life ripped asunder after his precious hands develop homicidal lives of their own. This deliciously daft vignette deftly mines an uproariously off-the-wall line in inspired black humor and goes for broke with a positively gut-busting premise in which malcontent disembodied hands declare a revolution against their human oppressors (!). Frewer's bravura physical acting keeps this one buzzing; he receives sound support from Cynthia Garris as George's concerned wife Ellen, Bill Nunn as equally worried shrink Len, and Amelia Heinle as upset nurse Darlene. Clive Barker and John Landis pop up in cool cameo roles. Writer/director Mick Garris maintains a snappy pace throughout, creates and sustains an entertaining lighthearted ooga-booga carnival spookhouse atmosphere, and wisely doesn't treat any of this engaging foolishness seriously for a minute. Shelly Johnson's slick cinematography provides an impressive polished look. Mark Mothersbaugh's twangy and spirited score hits the rousing shuddery spot. A hugely fun and amusing omnibus outing.

We've all gotten to know Christopher Lloyd as Doc in the "Back to the Future" trilogy" and Uncle Fester in the "Addams Family" movies. But in "Quicksilver Highway", he plays a much different role, that of a mysterious showman with no shortage of horror stories. Some newlyweds learn of a pair of chattering teeth, while a pickpocket learns of a hand gone afoul.Obviously this wasn't any kind of masterpiece. I haven't read the short stories from which the movie's two segments are adapted, so I can't comment on how well they adapted them. Even so, it's a pretty interesting, almost ethereal movie, certainly worth seeing. The DVD cover even manages to make Christopher Lloyd look scary! Also starring Matt Frewer, Raphael Sbarge, Missy Crider, Bill Nunn (Radio Raheem in "Do the Right Thing") and Veronica Cartwright (Cathy in "The Birds").

i think that a religious sermon wouldn't be scared... i guess this has something similar to all king movies with more than one tale... it's cinematography is very good, and acting is not bad.it's just that it comes across lame and very cheesy... nothing to be seen here...i give my points from technical aspects...otherwise a miss... i've seen a lot worse too, but this is not a winner.the rest of the lines i'll recommend some horror-movies: the brood the uninvited the entity changeling ...those kinda movies have some depth

ha ha, this film is the funniest film i've ever seen the teeth! ha ha, it is purely brilliantthis film was supposed to be a chilling horror about supernatural happenings, like twilight zone mixed with the shining or something but the stupidness, and actual quality of the film, makes it hilariousas a comedy, this is brilliant as a horror, like how it was intended to be, its absolute turdif you like laughing at crap films, this is a must see but if you are looking for a good watch, something that is truly good film work, and you don't find crap films like Schwarzenegger and others funny, then you'll definitely hate this!
