A "Horrible" horror film
varghesejunior12 December 2010
I watched this because I was looking for good horrors.Never heard of it before.

The storyline is weak.Not many actors in this,and unimpressive acting.Nothing really scary or special in it.Only a guy,few cops,two ladies...and some 'miscellaneous' characters, and shot only in a house,on a highway,and a lakeside.There are Indian horror films which are better shot than this film,though very often Indian horrors are considered horrible.

Perhaps the only good thing in this film is it shows the end tragic result of extra marital affairs.

All in all,not worth.

Nothing happened
ross_junglecool16 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I do actively seek bad movies, for comedy value really but what bugged me about this one is that the idea had potential. The general idea is this guy murders his wife and spends all night driving to ditch the body, gradually going slightly insane, seeing things and getting paranoid etc. Nothing new or exciting but the premise behind a potentially watchable movie.

I can save you a good few hours of your life right now with a step by step of 'Haunted Highway'

Guy driving, then pulling over for some reason, then driving again, then pulling over, then driving, uh oh a police officer, no he's clueless, guy driving, a ghost argh, ditch the body, guy goes home, kills Japanese mistress, oh no the police, end.

Nothing happened throughout the entire duration of the damn film! The acting was awful and god knows they didn't need a scene of the dude rocking out in his car. Oh also almost everyone in the credits is Japanese, and there's only one Japanese actress in it, that seems odd to me.

There's no good excuse to watch it.

What a funny movie.
dmjazz27 April 2008
I gave it a rating of 4 because of it's humor. If I were to rate it for what it is supposed to be a 1 would even be a little generous. It is not even close to a well made movie. The acting is horrible, as well as the effects and entire production to be honest, but it does have some good humor value. I would not recommend spending money renting it, but if you ever catch it on late night TV or something it's good for a laugh and an example of how to suck at making a movie. I have no idea who the actors are, but they obviously don't have any experience. The guy certainly over-acted and the girls were absolutely pathetic (pretty good looking I guess, if that's your thing, but no clue on how to act in a movie). What I did enjoy was the lake in the movie. It was a pretty setting and looks like a nice place to spend a day paddling a canoe around.

This one is not worth checking out
jpowell217 June 2007
After getting creeped out by "Dead End", I thought another film about ghosts on the highway might be entertaining. Wrong! There were a few eerie moments here and there, but the acting is so atrocious that you can't ever get engrossed in the story. Particularly bad is the girl portraying "Yumi" who must have been told that speaking in a sing-song baby voice is the key to brilliant characterization. There also seems to be many shots of the guy traveling the same stretch of highway over and over again, even though he's supposed to be going from point A to point B. I saw the same trees and rocks many times, and the trees all seem to be white birches for some inexplicable reason. Not worth the price of the rental. See "Dead End" for a good scare.

horrible movie
joannakrupa26 November 2006
i just wanted to say we seen the movie and it was the worst movie ever..the actor in the movie should find a different career to work in because he sucked ..he over acted in the film..and the sound effects were terrible..overall i rate this movie a 1 from 1-10...my advice to others is to never rent this movie..you will end up turning it off after 5minutes of watching it.the budget of the movie was really bad and the lighting and makeup was awful..it looked like the actor got punched in the face. i would never recommend this movie to anyone its unbelievably awful..but at least we got a kick out of it laughing our ass's off.

7/8 of the movie was a guy driving in a car
ladyfinch9114 April 2007
OK so this was the worst movie i had ever seen in my entire life. i actually finished it though. c me and my friends were having a slumber party and i wanted something scary so i picked up haunted highway....bad choice.It was completely a low budget movie had no real actors and there were only 3 main actors and one was this robot talking Asian lady. o my goodness and the ending sucked as well it was just horrible. The movie as a whole would make you consider any other movie you every thought was bad should deserve and Oscar.. but this is just my 2 cent on the worlds worst movie.Take my word for it. And if you really and truly don't believe me then go check it out for yourself i bet you wouldn't even finish it!

I wasted 99 cents on this piece of crap!
shaver_dave12 March 2009
I am embarrassed to admit that I wasted 99 cents on this piece of crap! It's awful, around every turn I hoped there would be something thrilling.

There's no 'highway', just a long dark road that just keeps rolling by the camera. It's ridiculous that the speedometer shows at a few times that he was driving 75 mph. THAT IS Ridiculous! I'm sure the Director/Writer of this film didn't intend for the audience to see comedic moments in his 'thriller', but me and my son did get a few laughs out of the film.

The script sucked, the acting sucked, the directing sucked, the sound effects sucked.

The only thing that was haunted about this movie was the haunting feeling that I got from throwing away 99 cents.

Sort of a modern version of Edgar Allan Poe's "Tell Tale Heart"
KSprowl9 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was in the "new release" flyer at Family Video so we gave it a try. Although it was obviously a fairly low-budget film, I was surprised at how overall it kept us interest until the very end.

Some of the special effects are hinky and not believable, especially the bright red blood on a sheet would be brown after being in the trunk for a few hours, so it is not likely to interest the younger crowd that is used to high-budget special effect.

However, if you are fan of Edgar Allan Poe's and enjoy a story that shows a man's descent into madness, you will enjoy this movie up to the very end.

This Movie is Completely Underrated!!
sal108517 December 2007
This movie is by far one of the most decent low budget film I've seen in a while. The acting might be a little flawed but quality acting cant be expected from a movie that lacks sufficient funds. Basically the whole movie deals with massive hallucinations during a trip taken by the main character. During his trip he is haunted by the ghost of his recently deceased wife and by his lover who seems to know a dark secret of his. The same secret that triggers the trip and eventually leads to a rather unfortunate event. The special effects are well above average and the "scary" parts seem very well crafted. In this movie you will learn that doing the right thing isn't always easy but at least you will live with peace of mind. This movie is completely underrated and Its not been given the credit it deserves. Please watch the movie before you take for granted the negative comments of the film. Thank You!
