Highway zur Hölle (1991)

Highway zur Hölle: Directed by Ate de Jong. With Patrick Bergin, Adam Storke, Chad Lowe, Kristy Swanson. An eloping bride is taken into Hell, and her fiancé must pursue.

“Watch out for this one! It starts out as a slight horror comedy, gets increasingly more bizarre as it goes along, and finally adds up to something almost visionary. Certainly one of the most original and offbeat horror films to come out in a long time, this one almost demands a second viewing just to appreciate the imaginative production design, and a third just to catch all the throwaway gags (a sign reads u0026quot;Road To Nowhereu0026quot; and, in smaller letters, u0026quot;Donu0026#39;t Buckle Up. It Wonu0026#39;t Helpu0026quot;). Good cast, too, with Patric Bergin being perfectly enigmatic in the first half, perfectly imposing in the second. How refreshing to finally find a film that breaks away from the traditional formulas and dares to do something new and different! (***1/2)”
