Route 666

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 !

I saw this for the first time recently. Was on my radar for almost 2 decades. The movie is outdated but it is still one time watch for fans of the genre. The movie starts like an action film n turns into a horror one. A nice genre mash up. US marshals take a wrong turn while bringing in a witness. The road they take is a cursed one n local Sheriff knows the mystery behind it. As soon as blood falls on the ground, dead rise from the ground n kill people with jackhammer, huge hammer, pick axe, road rollers, etc. The best part about this film is that the entire stuff takes place in broad daylight in the middle of nowhere, with sun soaked settings.

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.

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.

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.
