SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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

Backlash007 ~Spoiler~Highway to Hell is one of the most interesting and off-the-wall horror/comedies that came out of the 90's. It's about a young couple (played by Kristy Swanson and Chad Lowe) who take the wrong road out in the middle of the desert. It's the highway to hell, hence the title, and the Hellcop who patrols this area gives our young couple one hell of a time. Bad pun, I know. This is one of those movies that sounds incredibly silly on paper but just has to be seen. Along with Swanson and Lowe, Highway to Hell stars Patrick Bergin, Adam Storke, and Pamela Gidley. The really cool actor here though is the Hellcop. He's played by C.J. Graham and this is Graham's only other role besides playing Jason is Friday the 13th Part 6. There are a ton of cameos in this film too. The late, great Richard Farnsworth, Lita Ford, both Jerry and Ben Stiller, and Kevin Peter Hall all pop up for a minute or two. And Gilbert Gottfried plays Hitler. Like I said earlier, this one has to be seen to be appreciated. It's not the best movie you will ever see, but it's entertaining and that's what counts with this kind of film.

ctomvelu-1 Didn't catch the whole thing, but what I saw was a goofy sendup of the Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, with Chad Lowe standing in for the Big O and Kristy Swanson a gorgeous Eurydice. In this version, perhaps to keep the Catholics in the audience happy, Satan himself appears and is in charge of the underworld. He is played by the eternally stone-faced Patrick Bergen. Plus Gilbert Gottfried shows up as Hitler and Ben Stiller and his dad have brief roles. Actually, for my money, the most interesting character is the Hellcop, who kidnaps Swanson and drags her down into the underworld, with Lowe in (pardon the pun) hot pursuit. Not as bad as MONKEYBONE or YOR, but not nearly as interesting as BEETLEJUICE. Drink heavily before watching.

witster18 Highway to Hell starts off as a campy 80's ish horror flick. It grabs you from the start and then holds on when our stars jump over the real world divide. The concept is ingenious and the characters are fresh. There are some great sight gags and loads of funny lines. THis is definitely better than the 5.7 rating here......I just left a review for 'The Prodigy' and I am FLABBERGASTED that it has the same rating on IMDb. This is EASILY a better film. Patrick Bergen and Chad Lowe are great adversaries and on originality alone this film deserves at least a 6-6.5 here. Pure unadulterated 'B' movie genius. Wish I could find a copy to rent. 3.5 out of five on my 'b' movie marathon list. It is very strange and not for all tastes, but HTH will forever be a cult-classic. 65/100
