Route 666

Come on people, relax!

Taken for what it is -- a little horror flick -- ROUTE 666 more than fills the bill.

This one is worth a view just for Gary Farmer. Sure, his role was nothing more than a cameo (and he did seem to be trying to hide behind those sunglasses), but then all Gary needs is a cameo. Remember him in GHOST DOG: WAY OF THE SAMURAI? He only needed one line to steal that flick (Stupid white men.) and GHOST DOG is one damned great film.

I could defend the rest of the cast (I think everyone more than held their own and turned in solid performances) but there is no need. Gary Farmer and peyote tea? What else is needed?

I've only seen this one on the SCI/FI channel (a number of times), but will happily fork over the cash for the DVD the first chance I get.

I am a really big Lou Diamond fan,and will see any movie he is in. But this movie is one of the worst I have EVER seen. I can't believe anyone would find anything good to say about it. The acting is atrocious and the zombies are pathetically unscary. AVOID !

Are you ready for some weird entertainment? What seems to be a decent cop show turns into a horror flick. Yes, there is plenty of action...but you find yourself wondering how much stranger can this thing get. Some pretty good actors assembled to do this thing for producer Terence M. O'Keefe. William Wesley directs no doubt with a grin. This is a toss up between being really bad and being just a below average B-movie.

Lou Diamond Phillips and Lori Petty are government agents that track down a Federally protected witness(Steven Williams)hiding in the desert along Route 66. After convincing him to return to LA for his appearance in court things get crazy. It is decided to take a shortcut on a piece of closed highway, Route 666, where the now small FBI caravan is attacked by four zombies. The undead are four prisoners/murderers that were slaughtered while working on a road crew several years earlier. One of the zombies happens to be Phillips' estranged father.

Phillips has starred in worst...check out BATS. Somehow he keeps his dignity without embarrassing his following too much. I found Miss Petty pretty much irritating throughout. Williams is outstanding and has most of the best dialogue. Dale Midkiff is notable as a pompous FBI agent. And kudos to the veteran actor L.Q. Jones playing the corrupt county sheriff. The road less traveled is finally rid of its phantoms. Worth your test drive.

don't let my tagline fool you, i like route 666. as far as straight to dvd flicks go it's above average. it actually reminds of drive in style scary movies of the 50's and sixties. Lou Diamond is a solid lead, Lori petty works, i hate to say it but i liked Dale Midkiff. The plot had some merit, it was an original take on a unoriginal concept. However, the script, is one liner, after one liner after one liner. i laughed through the movie, though i'm not sure it's intended to be funny. the lines are enough to make the movie worth while and the make-up effects are a nice refreshing change from the cgi laden horror flicks of late. watch route 666, it's a fun ride, no doubt.

An horror road movie with an interesting twist, this flick about a part of Route 666 infested by ghosts is better than one may think before of seeing it. Good cast, several surprising twists. For a double features b-movie evening with popcorn and cola.
