Summary: Very Enjoyable
Review: Route 666 is a very enjoyable captivating film. It has a good cast, decent story, and an interesting style. Agents Lou Dimond Philips and Lori Petty have to go and track down a federal witnesss who is on the run ( Steven Williams). Then they must get him to court on time to testify. To do this they and four other agents decide to take a supposedly haunted route 666, were a chain gang accident had happend. Through the movie we find out more about it through cool, but bizarre flash backs. Philips is entertaining in his lead role. As is Petty and Williams who are both enjoyable and very funny. It's a very underrated flick that is worth having in your collecton for a rainy day. A must buy.

Summary: Run...in the other direction!
Review: Route 666 is about a federal agent responsible for safely transporting a witness to the courtroom on time. In order to achieve this, he takes a shortcut using a closed road and on the way must confront ghosts from the past and exorcise the demons that haunt him.There's not much that I liked about this film. Lou Diamond Phillips has done some great work in the past but this is not his finest hour. There are many things to dislike about this film. The acting is rather ordinary and the script is quite implausible. Picking holes in the plot is an activity that could take hours all on its own. Many of the actions of the characters simply defy logic. Should anybody watch this movie? Certainly not if you're going to pay any money for it. All in all it's a rather boring movie and the DVD has no extras. If the movie is free then I'd only watch it if you've really got nothing better to do!

Summary: KEEP OFF THE ROAD
Review: SEE:
*Lou Diamond Phillips drink peyote tea with a bald shaman
*See Steven Williams do his Joe Pesci Lethal Weapon impersonation AND pee three times
*See Dale Midkiff the Human Ham in a terrifically campy performace
*See zombies from the chain gang swing their pick and jam their jackhammer
*See Steven Williams smash a nasty scorpion
*See L. Q. Jones play the crooked sheriff for the 100th time
*See Lou's Dad help his son out when he needs him most
Actually, I have tongue in cheek, but ROUTE 666 is a pretty enjoyable, if sometimes ludicrous, horror thriller. The actors for the most part are sincere, and the muddled pacing doesn't destroy the movie. The jerky camera movements get a little old, however. Not a turkey, but maybe a little pheasant?

Review: some fbi guys are taking a bad guy to prison and are overun by the zombie remains of some former baddies who were killed along route 666.lou diamond phillips stars.if you are too simple to figure it out already,the kids should be in bed before this one goes to the vcr.it looks as though they spent like 200 bucks on this film.there is a bit of suspense and waiting which i dont like,but some do.this one is a real bummer in the chick department.its alright but could have been better.lous youbg guns undertakings were far superior to this poorly planned monster movie littered with long waits and bad actors.the monsterslook cool and when stuff is actualy happening the film really rocks.

Summary: a film that should of stayed dead under the road
Review: the film begins good with Phillips and Petty confronting Williams to come back and testify for some big case and they'll put him under custody, the shootout at the beginning is kind of corny. so they go out onto the road and its good but then when they hit the cemetary part and then those spirits of the chaingang come there is a cheesy movie with lame music and smelly deaths and Williams is a little bit funny but he gets annoying after awhile. lame storytelling and wooden emotions filled with wooden and dry directing dont make this a whole great movie

Summary: Uninspired
Review: This film is pretty weak. A team of F.B.I. agents must transport a witness to court in short time. They decide to use the closed-down Route 66 as a short cut. Turns out it's closed down for a reason. Whenever people travel the road, 4 convict zombies rise from the asphalt (complete with chain-gang tools!) to kill and mutilate. Being an admirer of director William Wesley's first feature, Scarecrows (1988), I was expecting another unique, scary and exciting B-movie. But it's none of the above. The best thing about it are the cool-looking zombies, but Wesley chose to shoot all of the action scenes with a shaky and frenetic camera.
It looks superficial and ruins any suspense. It's disappointing to think he might've used this technique because the film takes place entirely in daylight, and he thought the zombies weren't convincing enough. They look great, and it would've been so much more enjoyable to just watch them attack without all the distracting camera movements. Not to say it would make this film much better. It's filled with irritating "hip" dialogue and endless sarcastic lines, the plot is ridiculous and the sub-plot about one of the chain-gang corpses being Lou Diamond Phillips' dad is laughable. And people looking for graphic gore will also be disappointed, there's some, but it's infrequent and consists mainly of splattered blood. My biggest question is, what took Wesley so long to make such a mediocre second film? It's a far cry from his superior debut.

Summary: Alright
Review: This movie was okay. It was more funny than scary. And, I do me funny in the intentional way. My only real problem is the end. It seemed rushed. I'd rent it, but I wouldn't buy it.

Summary: Go in with a smile.....
Review: This was a great film. I enjoy films like this as they are just a fun ride. 90 minutes makes for a perfect timed film that leaves the viewer with a smile. Funny, scary and an all around great cast provides for a nice release from the average "We-are-here-to-scare-you "B" movie. Well worth the purchase price!!
