      Austin Trunick Under the Radar While Highway to Hell isn't going to wow anyone with its silly story, its vision of Hell is wildly imaginative -- and exceptionally realized by its effects team. Feb 3, 2016 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Spoofs the Orpheus legend. Rated: B- Jun 8, 2015 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope This movie is so far off the wall, it is on the floor. Rated: C+ Aug 17, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...where else are you going to see Gilbert Gottfried playing Hitler? Rated: 3/4 Nov 12, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

      Steve D Unimaginably dumb and not at all fun. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review MrBlacknyt I can't believe that I spent 1 hour and 34 minutes watching this horrible movie. Just because a movie has good actors doesn't mean the movie is going to be good. Not worth watching. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/23 Full Review Sir M What can one person say in the fewest words allowable, just bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review christopher c. m This is way better than people give it credit for. The attention to detail, the jokes, the cameos. The make up effects are all great. There is one scene of a stop motion Cerberus that I don't think really works but overall, it's great. I advise everyone who loves strange horror rom-coms to take a trip on the Highway to Hell. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "Sounds like you're walking, geek! Get those shoes on and do it! Walk! Walk!" First there was Maniac Cop. Now there's Hell Cop! A young couple eloping take the backroads to Vegas in hopes of evading their possibly pursing families. In taking the circuitous route, the couple inadvertently enter the Highway to Hell where a demonic state trooper "arrests" the woman. Her beau pursues, meeting a wide range of crazy, odd-ball, scary, loopy, violent, cartoony characters along the way. These roles were played by, among others, Kristy Swanson (same year she played Buffy), Lita Ford, C.J. Graham (Jason in "Jason Lives"), Kevin Peter Hall (the Predator in "Predator" ), the Stillers (Jerry [a year prior to becoming Frank Costanza], Ben [back when he was only known for his MTV show], Amy as Cleopatra, & the matriarch Anne Meara as a waitress), and Gilbert Gottfried as a heavy metal-loving Hitler! Trippy and odd, the tone was off-putting and neither funny nor scary (it gives off the same vibe as "Nothing to Lose" and "Hardware"). Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review robert p I know its a cheap movie, but the humor and the action make for one lasting movie, which I watch now and then.
