Customer Reviews of Route 666
Hidden gemS rarley seen at the movie Amazing cast Lou Diamond Phillips ... Jack An FBI agent with a secret to hide. Let me just say the whole cast is amazing and they just all gelled together on screen.
The story FBI agents trying to deliver an government informent through the dessert, they encounter some very ghostly obsticles along the way.This is a very unpredictable movie with a pretty solid story and an amazing cast "Hollywood take note this is what an action/horror movie should be."
I was on the edge of my seat through the whole 90 minutes rooting for the good guys and cheering when the bad guys got what they deserved. So I'd say run out and get this one you won't be disappointed ,once you have it sit back and enjoy and hold on for the ride like no other

Wesley's sophomore slump is strictly midde of the road.
It's been something like 14 years since William Wesley made an impressive debut with the atmospheric and creepy horror film Scarecrows (DVD please!). In waiting so long to make a follow up did the writer/dirctor hope to avoid the dreaded sophomore slump? Well, if that was his intention, the man failed, utterly. Route 666 is pretty much a disappointment for anyone expecting a tight and fun thrill ride.
Federal Agents Lou Diamond Phillips and Lori Petty capture escaped witness Steven Williams. Just before their back-up arrives a posse of hitman show up and start firing. Here Wesley shows his big artistic contribution to the film, he wiggles the camera up and down and back forth in an irritating manner so the viewer can't see how lackluster the action is. The trio escapes, a sole surviving hitman in pursuit, and, in a bad decision, the group decides to take a short cut along Route 666, a condemned/deserted highway that was closed down due to a chaingang accident that, in a contrivance that gets the eyes rolling, happens to be linked to Phillips character's family history. It is not too long before the chaingang's ghost zombies (the movie can't decided which they are so they are both) show up and begin pounding victims into the pavement. The road needs blood, you see.
On the plus side the movie does feature a great b-movie cast (legendary character actors Dick Miller and L.Q. Jones get to join in on the fun) and the movie is polished and professional looking. Steven Williams shows some comic relief skills (and gets a great in-joke for his stint as Mr. X on The X-Files). On the downside the script is atrocious (the graveside exposition is a low point worth mentioning) and the characters behavior largely decided by the action instead of vice versa (why do the bad guys show up and begin shooting people needlessly when they have no reason and nothing whatsoever to gain by doing so? Because they are BAD guys and that is what BAD guys do!) and WHY is L.Q. Jones wearing sunglasses indoors while reading a book? Did he get his pupils dilated during the shoot or something?
Final thought? Route 666 is a disappointment, granted an entertaining one, but, considering what this director is capable of, one not worth more than the price of a rental.
route 666
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.
