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 Still, the effects really makes the movie but it's a bit outdated here and there and does remind me somehow to Mad Max (1979) even as it has nothing to do with it.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

merklekranz This movie has a lot going for it. The visuals are terrific. The desert locations are used to great advantage. The acting is totally acceptable. The story moves along at a rapid pace, and the imaginative script constantly surprises. The sum of all these positive parts, is a very enjoyable film. It is a shame that "Highway to Hell" hasn't been seen by more people, because it surely would benefit from word of mouth touting. Nothing else matters except that this chase through hell leads down a very entertaining highway. Numerous cameos add to the fun, and the movie easily overcomes it's modest budget. Seek this one out, you will not be disappointed. - MERK

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

metilley OK, so it's not Oscar winning material, but I don't think it was meant to be. "Highway to Hell" is a fun flick about a couple on their way to Las Vegas to get married. They are eloping and to steer clear of the "authorities", they take a back road that turns into an entrance to hell. Yeah, it's corny but it's very entertaining and very well done.For the most part the acting is very good and the production including scenery and music are top notch. I loved the fact that "Hitler" is played by Gilbert Gottfried! Anne Meara, Ben Stiller, and the lovable Richard Farnsworth are also in the film as well as the late Kevin Peter Hall. As always, Chad Lowe does an A+ performance as "Charlie". I loved "Hell Cop" too. This is a fun movie! (I have not watched this film in over 10 years but I still enjoy remembering it.)This is another film that should be available on DVD. The purchase information shows the VHS tape available in Canada, but it really isn't (out of print). The movie industry would make more money if these old films were made available. There are lots of films I would love to have in my personal collection. This is definitely one of them!
