What makes it different from others?
just watch it!
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Hell's highway is about a group of four teens on a road trip. On their travels they pick up a hitchhiker called Lucinda. After a short while she says she is going to kill them all, just like their friends before (who had set off on the same road trip). They expel her from the car forthwith, but have they seen the last of her? It also appears that many have met an untimely fate on the Devil's highway, judging by all of the crosses on the side of the road. Directed by Jeff Leroy, who is still making horror today. Joe Castro, also a familiar name for practical special effects, in low budget films provides some excellent work here. Excellent cast that include. Phoebe Dollar and Beverly Lynn, both well established scream queens on the indie circuit, and with a cameo by porn legend Ron Jeremy, who is suitably killed with tongue firmly in cheek. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It had a good story, acting was good. Kept my attention throughout. Some of the special effects were excellent and really delivered on the gore groceries. Nothing is quite what it seems and this will keep you guessing to the bitter end. Great little homage to the original Texas chainsaw massacre as Phoebe wields a chainsaw like Gunner Hanson. I would wholly recommend this film to all gore hounds and those that like low budget horrors.
I bought this movie at a used movie store (luckily it was cheap), thinking it would be another good road terror movie, like The Hitcher. Hell's Highway was pathetic. It looks like it was filmed with a home video camera, the special effects were painfully fake, and the plot was very boring. The picture quality is incredibly bad. The acting was lame, and it seemed like all the cast knew how to do was smoke pot, like they were doing for most of the movie. It reminded me of something a bunch of high school kids threw together. Don't waste your time. Watch a good "road horror" movie like The Hitcher or Joy Ride instead. Quicksilver Highway is much better.
Yea i like such movies cause it makes the viewer know about the terrors and horrors of humans; how humans can be secretly brutal and savage and yet appear to be peace-loving and tranquil. It educates you not to trust women who ask for lifts and rides. Horror movies raises your suspicion in life which helps you take extra care when involved in unwarranted situations. I like them because some are real life experience acted. Take time to watch this film and you will understand the meaning of Hell. Hell is Evil and Lawlessness; it is wickedness and inhuman. Demons are peculiar spirits sent to torment human beings. And these spirits sometimes enter into the heart and moves them according to their will(the demons). They are capable of driving their victims to execute fierce tasks and duties which the victim would not do when in a normal condition. These spirit entities are called the driving force. they professionally control you without knowing it and moves you to fulfill wicked deeds. These demons have a dwelling place, from where they are sent to the outside world by their leader also called in Hebrew Abbadon or in Greek Appolyon. It is a goofy being with deep malice and evil, able to command legion of spirits to torment the human world and provoke enmity and hatred which genders division and separation. They are whisperers which separates the closest of friends and relations, able to sow discord even among brethren. Abbadon is an evil angel who dispatch the host of demons to destroy the human world. I have explained the reason for my interest in horror films. It may be that it is not suitable for under-aged children, that is why the have a logo (PARENTAL GUIDANCE)not advisable for children under 18 years, but allowed by adults who can discern between good and evil.
If you ever decide to watch a film like this, please take into consideration that it was probably shot for the price of a used car and in the spans of a week. Total Roger Corman/Ed Wood style, so you should never expect a Spielburg quality film(His catering budget is usually bigger than the entire budget of a film like this.) So what does a film like this have to offer a viewer? A dialog heavy script with thick subplots and well known actors? Mind blowing special effects? Beautiful breath-taking 35mm Cinematography? No, but it has couple things that make it unique. Despite the fact that it was probably shot on a camcorder, some of the shots were well planned and executed. Unlike the normal all-hand-held Shot-on-Video features usually do. Of course the Director and the Cinematographer were the same person, which can be difficult. The Characters were unique, yes at sometime they were over-the-top or flat at certain times, but I feel that they were tolerable. It's also obvious at time there was a lot of ad libbing and some of it didn't work. I am a fan of Beverly Lynn though. She started out in the Brain Damage world and has definitely out-shined many of her counterparts. I do hope that she will grow in her craft and lands roles that will gain her the respect that she deserves. This was Phoebe Dollar's first film credit, she definitely shines as the evil Lucinda. She is definitely a presence that will go far in the future. The story also is unique for the fact if you actually try to follow what's going on, you will be pulled in many different directions and will be left still wondering what exactly happen. It definitely had some interesting twists in it. Now onto the special effects, outside the low quality of the video image the special effects look even worse than normal. They are totally laughable. Especially Joe Haggerty's blow to the head.( Which can really be the charm of a film like this, where the gore is so over-the-top that it's actually funny. I can imagine how a movie like this would be in a college dorm, with a room full of drunk men.) Especially when watch the toy model cars driving by or see the miniature gas station blow up! That was funny!! I had to rewind to make sure I saw what I thought I saw!! The Sound was something to be desired. It was for the most part inconsistent. Some of the sound effects were very "fake" sounding and again laughable at times. There also obvious continuity issues like switching props, road movement in the background in a car scene when the car is supposedly stopped. But what do you expect when you can afford re-shoots? To me this movie, seems to be a turning point for the whole Brain Damage world. Where their movies started moving up the ladder from their pocket-change budget beginnings. Good job Jeff LeRoy!! If you want a movie that scares you, it probably won't. If you want a movie that will challenge your intellect, don't rent this. But if you appreciate the micro-budget, and want to see something different that the normal movie studios wouldn't put out, then you might want to check it out.
