Rota 666 - A Estrada da Morte

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 The movie is outdated but it is still one time watch for fans of the genre.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.

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.

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 !

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.
