Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Frequency270 Imagine if a comedian who specialized in myelopathy humor--and only myelopathy humor decided to take his humor to the broad general audience that is the world, and you will understand the primary--and big--flaw of this movie.This is a Mad-magazine style parody of more R-rated vampire horror movies. The characters play their parts mostly straight, except for the occasionally annoying pose as they wait for the audience to appreciate their brilliant quip (tips for next time, director--let loose the joke and keep rolling and let the audience mind try to keep up), and playing it straight with the ridiculous (deliberately) script helps a lot.The movie does start off slow as the three protagonist have difficulty carrying scenes by themselves. Once they get to town, however, and the survivalist and family come into play the movie does well. The exception being is they really want to hammer a joke in over and over and over and over again...hey, we got it the first time, it was funny, now move on.Laura Stone ('Lynette') deserves the most credit here. She gets the best, most shocking and humorous lines, and she delivers them like a pro.One does have to wonder if the three protagonist (Bone, Sam and Carrie) awkward acting is a deliberate tribute to other lousy horror movies or simply a testament to their inability to act--it really is hard to tell.So if you are looking for a rich and subtle clever comedy about vampire horror--then head somewhere else. You will hate it. If you are ready for a parody rich in brain-dead humor, then slide yourself up on the couch, and plop it in.

Anthony Pittore III (Shattered_Wake) On their way to Mr. Fire (an obvious take on Burning Man), three twentysomethings get lost after the neurotic wimp of the group, Sam, gets carsick all over their map. After taking a detour given to them by a roadside hillbilly, Sam, his gold-digging girlfriend Carrie, and best friend Bone, run low and gas and stop at a small gas station. Disaster strikes when Sam gets attacked by one of the gas station attendants, who happens to be a bloodthirsty vampire . . . along with the rest of the town! Luckily for our wayward tourists, the vampire townies are complete morons and there are still some survivors left willing to help them through the crisis. . . even if the other survivors are just as dim as the bloodsuckers.Horror-comedy is a very hit-or-miss subgenre. . . but, it's mainly miss. The subgenre thrives in the low-budget/independent sector of cinema, mainly because schlock humour is cheaper and easier than quality production elements. Because of the sheer stupidity that comes along with the cheap humour and low-budget horror-comedies, the vast majority of the attempts are very, very bad.'Blood on the Highway' took this risk and went for the comedy-horror blend on a low budget. For the rare time, though, it actually paid off. Sure, it's not the next 'Dead-Alive' or 'Evil Dead II,' but it is a surprisingly funny, original, and blood-soaked vampire romp through a Texan hicktown. For what was clearly a fairly low budget, the technical aspects of the film are actually not too shabby. The comedic writing is actually pretty laugh-worthy and definitely evoked some giggles, even if it is just a bunch of vulgarity delivered by some pretty bad actors. The overall look of the film is also pretty good with some pretty awesome and over-the-top gore effects, complete with flying limbs and too-red blood. Even the CGI wasn't overly distracting, but that's mainly because it was only used in small quantities. Another small feature of the film that will be a treat for horrorhounds is the casting of Nicholas Brendon (Xander from 'Buffy') and horror legend Tom Towles, most famous for his role of Otis in 'Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.'Overall, 'Blood on the Highway' isn't going to go down as a classic among other gore comedies; but, with enough exposure, this splatter comedy does stand a chance to be a future cult classic.Final Verdict: 7/10-AP3-

Do yourself a favor and check it out.

toronaga Just saw this one off cable PPV. Another one of those cheesy horror movies I assumed. This one was priceless! I would have to watch this movie more than once to get all the jokes. The dialog was absolutely hilarious and you have to listen carefully to hear it all. It starts really going once they get to "Housechusetts" or whatever it is. The sex-related jokes had me almost in tears.Oh yeah, also loved the "town meeting" of vampires. And the "veiled" Wal-Mart commentary.The actors did a great job and probably took a lot of showers during the making of this movie. But the WRITING was what made this film really shine. I will watch for more from these people, they are going to make it big in Hollywood some day. They certainly deserve it.
