Woodyanders Foul-mouthed spitfire Carrie (a winningly sassy and zesty performance by the insanely foxy Robin Gierhart), her hopelessly meek dork boyfriend Sam (amiable Nate Rubin), and Sam's surly bad boy buddy Bone (a nicely swaggering portrayal by Deva George) are all en route to a rock concert. During their road trip the trio get lost and find themselves stuck in a remote podunk town populated by ferocious, but slow-witted hick vampires. Directors Blair Rowan and Barak Epstein, working from a gloriously rude'n'crude script by Rowan and Chris Gardner, do a bang-up job with the infectiously loopy material: The hilariously profane dialogue, colorfully broad redneck characters, the blithely inane jokes, and the teeming surplus of wild over-the-top gore all add up to one immensely entertaining and often sidesplitting romp. Moreover, it's acted with tremendous zeal by an enthusiastic cast: Tony Medlin as wacko survivalist Byron, Laura Stone as bawdy and aggressively lascivious whitetrash slut Lynette, Chris Gardner as smarmy and spineless jerk Roy, Richard L. Olsen as flaky hillbilly Old Zeke, and Nicholas Brendon as chipper vampire yuppie opportunist Chase Sinclair. Tom Towles (Otis in "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer") has a cool and funny small part as smooth bloodsucker lawyer Loius Debois. Both Clay Liford's sharp cinematography and the lively score by Paul Nichols are up to speed. An absolute hoot.

Tromafreak Being that Vampires are so "in" these days, it's pretty much common sense (for anyone who isn't a pre-teen girl) that this modern Vamp-trend is bad news, and should be avoided at all costs. But not so fast! If you didn't know, you need to know that the world of B-Entertainment has also jumped on this bandwagon. A bandwagon which just got a lot bloodier. Blood On The Highway is a micro-budgeted Horror/comedy which flaunts a rotten attitude from beginning to end. We start out with an unlikeable, mean-spirited cast. An annoying wuss, his angry, gold diggin' girlfriend, and his so-called best friend (who is obviously sleeping with the girlfriend), head out for a road trip to a concert. Unfortunately, said wuss gets car sick and vomits all over the map, which only causes the little fella to get bullied even more. It doesn't take long for the pointless trio to wander in to a town of Vampires, only to be rescued and taken to a house of "survivors". Most of which, make the vampires look normal.Blood On The Highway is a Troma-ish Vampire version of Shaun Of The Dead. And despite having a description that makes it sound slightly goofy, Blood On The Highway has a very clever humor about it (I realize I just called it Troma-ish AND clever, but just go with it). Never getting too funny to stop being dark. The three main characters lack of concern for each other, along with their interaction with the other humans, never gets old. And neither does the gore! And if you're now convinced that Blood On The Highway is your kind of movie, but feel it could use a companion piece for a double-feature, Chris Seaver's Taintlight is waiting. So, in closing. If the Twilight saga makes you as sick as it does me, and you happen to love constant tear-inducing comedy, you're gonna wanna give Bloody On The Highway an honest chance. You just might love it. Nevermind the Vamp-trend. Support real independent cinema! 8/10

David Sherrill Blood On The Highway is an excellent independent horror comedy. If you like to see what a team of talented writers, actors and directors can create without a committee of Hollywood suits turning it into a boring safe money maker, this is your film. This film is for fans of Evil Dead, El Mariachi, Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer, Clerks or Cannibal! The Musical. The story is original, the script is well paced and doesn't feel like it is shaped around a tiny budget. The characters are well developed and portrayed. The jokes are frequent, big and well written, I found myself laughing hard and quoting some of the lines with friends. Comedy is very hard to pull off in movie and these guys have got it. The soundtrack is well thought out and occasionally funnier than the film. I've been to three screenings and always bring someone new with me to watch their reactions. I've bought three copies of the DVD, one for myself and two to give to friends. This isn't a big budget Hollywood polished film. This is a film done quick and cheap. If you need to see Tom Cruise blow some stuff up every time you watch a film, this is not the movie for you, but if you like to watch a group of independent film makers really nail it, get a copy of this film. I expect more good things from these guys in the future.
