Poster

Tagline: One Wrong Turn and your Fresh Meat!

Plot Outline: On the drive home from a deep desert rave, seven friends travel off the beaten path only to be trapped in a reality more horrible than any nightmare they could imagine. Cannibals roam this stretch of tortured land, feeding off unfortunate travelers. Now the friends must become as savage as their attackers if they are to escape the desert alive.

Surprisingly fun, this independent update of the psychos-in-the-desert story -- as seen originally in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre -- has plenty of gore and memorable characters as well.

Some of the acting is great, some is only so-so, but director Steven Taylor keeps things jumping well enough so that you don't really mind, and the copious tube tops will distract you even if you do. The beginning and the end of the film are unfortunate weak spots -- the start drags, the finale doesn't make much sense. The middle of course is all gore, with hook-handed freaks, flesh eating monster-men, and screaming starlets all praying for their big break. What a refreshing break from B-list girls doing horror to make a buck... these kids are really into the production, having fun, and working their hearts out (never mind that some of them don't quite have the talent to pull it off). Watch especially for Aaron Buer's hysterical faux urban hipster. Gotta love it!

hehe,
i just noticed that there is another movie called 'hell's highway'.

errrm, the whole movie isnt as good as this ones (detour aka hell's highway) synopsis.

if someone releases ;hell;s highway; make sure its the good one, not the crap i got.

I've got 'Highway to Hell' on vhs http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104418/ and it's one of my alltime fav's. Great great stuff. Best depiction of hell ever IMO. would love to have it digitally stored.

hehe, i never hear of anymovies you know, jondoe

'I rented this movie and liked it so much I will buy one of the extra copies at my local video store... Many people don't like movies shot in such a low budget , but I do, I love them!, anyway, there was enough nudity, sex, graphic violence and gore to satisfy fans of slasher movies, I even liked the ending (which I was expecting), the cast is hot, especially Beverly Lynne who is gorgeous!!!
'


err, is that an opinion or an official press release advertisment?
