Alicia I love this movie so much

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

trashgang This flick isn't officially out on DVD even as it is stated on some sites that there is a DVD out but it's some kind of bootleg so still only available on VHS this flick made by Dutch director Ate De Jong isn't even that cheap to catch, I have seen the VHS go for over 30£. Is it all worth the money?It doesn't take too long before the action takes place. You got your typical warning about the dangers on the road. Of course Charlie (Chad Lowe) and Rachel (Kristy Swanson) ignore the warning but 10 minutes into the movie Rachel is taken away by a cop with a strange face. The only thing Charlie can do is to save Rachel. Of he goes to the highway to hell. The effects used are part CGI and real effects and it's the combination of both that makes it all watchable. The CGI is only used for effects that can't be done by real effects. There's also a bit of laughable situations in it that also gives it a better view. It's really the score used that remembers you that it is made early nineties. But after an hour you have seen the best. It drops a bit in action and you got the feeling that you have seen it all before. The fake Adolf Hitler was annoying and not funny. Still, the effects really makes the movie but it's a bit outdated here and there and does remind me somehow to Mad Max (1979) even as it has nothing to do with it. The final makes it again worth watching with the stop/motion dogs and the creatures walking around.Not really a horror more a fantasy mixed with science fiction. Worth seeing if you are into a rare story.Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0,5/5

Frumious_Bandersnatch_46 I really liked this campy, modern-day version of the ancient Greek story of "Orpheus and Eurydice". Likable cast includes Chad Lowe and Kristy Swanson, plus Patrick Bergin and Adam Storke. Throw in some "very punny" tongue-in-cheek dialog, lots of equally "punny" sight gags, and then the comic cameos from Gilbert Gottfried and the entire Stiller family: Dad Jerry, Ben, Amy, and Mom Anne Meara. Unless you're looking for the original (very serious) Greek tragedy, you may like this version. LBCA 2011/09/29

Matt Kracht I think I saw this movie for the first time on USA Up All Night, because it totally seems like the sort of thing they'd have played. It's a bit cheesy and campy, but if you like that sort of thing, then you'll probably love it. It seamlessly blends elements from many varied genres into a quirky comedy-fantasy, though I think maybe some people were a bit confused or put off by the lack of clearly defined genre conventions. In some ways, it's similar to Army of Darkness, though it lacks many of the over-the-top gags and one-liners of that movie.If you're a fan of Brian Helgeland, you really owe it to yourself to check this out. It's one of my favorites of his, though I suspect he'd probably prefer that we just forgot about his early work (Nightmare on Elm Street 4, 976-EVIL, Highway to Hell) and concentrate rather on his Academy Award-nominated work, such as Mystic River. Anyways, the story is about a kid who has to rescue his girlfriend, after she's abducted by the Hell Cop (Friday the 13th Part VI's C.J. Graham), who takes her to hell. So, right away you've got an actor who played Jason Vorhees and the writer of Nightmare on Elm Street 4. If that's not enough to sell you on this movie, I'm not really sure what else to say, except that Gilbert Gottfried plays Hitler, in a brief cameo. The movie plays out as part road trip through Hell, part comedy, and part thriller. The parts in Hell are creative, imagining it as a mirror image of our world, except somewhat more bizarre and surreal, like something from Mad Max, complete with biker gangs and vast expanses of blasted wasteland (probably Death Valley).Come to think of it, maybe the reason why I like this movie so much is because it combines Mad Max with Army of Darkness. If that concept appeals to you, I can't recommend this highly enough. If, on the other hand, you're thinking that it sounds ridiculous, maybe it's best that you don't waste your time, as it seems that this movie isn't really beloved by all. Perhaps it's a bit too quirky.I think that if it were given a chance, it could easily develop into a cult favorite.

lost-in-limbo Charlie and Rachael are on their way to Las Vegas to elope, but when they take a back-road. They are pulled over by a demonic cop who abducts Rachael and takes her back to hell. Charlie goes back to the gas station to the old guy who warned them of what could happen. He tells Charlie that Hell cop has taken her to hell city to be married off to Satan. The only way to get her back is to venture along hell's highway and to rescue within 24 hours or both of them will be stuck there.Who likes weird? I do! "Highway to Hell" is so unusual and extremely refreshing in its vision that I couldn't help but love its labyrinth of dazzling ideas and overall junky goodness. This fantasy-horror b-feature proves even with such a miniature budget that creativeness doesn't cost a dime. If you sport a gleefully, juicy script and a willingness to go-out there with an impulsively odd recipe (which this film definitely does), it can go a long way in the finish product.What keeps this film really buoyant has to be its sly sense of humour, which is so resourceful in its inspired strokes and interesting diversions that feature heavily in the foreground. Campy dialogues beaming with delicious in-jokes and an odd batch of characters (loved the scene with Hitler in it) add to the rollicking madness. Watch out as the blistering pace clocks over the speed limit with such ease and driving this is a seeping, novel music score and spanking soundtrack. Ate De Jong's direction is crackling with verve and unsparing thrills. While the cheap foundation shows up prominently, he manages to work around it superbly. Robin Vidgeon's stylishly soothing camera-work is another colourful contribution that has no has boundaries.A fine cast really do kick in here. Chad Lowe smoothly fits in as the gawky, but jittery, strong-willed heroine Charlie. The exquisite Kristy Swanson is very likable with a certain edge about her character Rachael. Patrick Bergin reeks of charisma and is very convincing in his deceitful role. C.J. Graham is very imposing as the hell cop figure. Look out for Ben Stiller who chips in with a hilarious performance/s. Making up the rest of the solid performances are Richard Farnsworth, Lita Ford, Adam Stroke, Pamela Gidley and Gilbert Gottfried.This spaced-out pearler is grand fun and features one hell of a romp.
