After my recent review of The Happening, I figured movies couldn't get much worse. Wow, was I wrong. Last Friday, I recorded the movie Route 666 on my DVR after seeing about 5 minutes of it. Needless to say, I was very tired at the time and apparently not thinking straight.
During my last review I made use of the spoiler tag, as to not give away the plot from the movie. I don't really care about that luxury this time because if you read this, you'll probably garner more enjoyment in the few minutes wasted here, rather than the 86 minutes you would never get back from watching Route 666.
The idea of the movie is simple. There is a highway - Route 666 - which is evil, and has been closed down. Years ago, there was a convict chain gang working, and they had an "accident" - which means that they were brutally murdered by the law enforcement in charge. Now they happen to be ghosts/zombies/whatever walking the highway and killing anyone who stumbles by. I thought to myself, this won't win any Oscars, but it might be enjoyable - hell, it's got Lou Diamond Phillips in it!
Words can't really describe how terrible this movie was. The camera shaking was so bad, that I nearly got sick to my stomach. It made The Blair Witch Project appear to be focused and steady. I think if I continued to think about this film I'd vomit in my mouth, so without further adieu, here is the trailer for the movie...and somehow they put all the best parts into the trailer - I know, how could those be the best parts of ANY movie. Oh well, I won't get those 86 minutes back.
