Smith, a mob informer hiding out with the Witness Protection Program, decides to make a break for it and hide out in the Arizona desert. The Feds catch up with him and rescue him just before a group of hitmen can manage to silence him for good. In the course of getting Smith away from the mafia thugs, the pair of agents assigned to protect him turn onto an abandoned stretch of highway nicknamed 'Route 666' after the mysterious death of a prison chain gang. As the three continue on their way, they soon discover just what happened to the chain gang, and how the highway earned its name.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Filmed on location in Joshua Tree, California, this exceptional horror film is an intelligent and moving story of surprising power. Skilfully directed and well written, the tension and suspense mounts quickly as federal marshals transport a prisoner across the barren wastes of the Southwestern U.S. With shocking intensity, supernatural forces mysteriously disrupt the journey and leave the group fighting for their very lives. The performances are nothing less than superb, with Lori Petty very effective in her role as a female agent and Lou Diamond Phillips, giving his best performance in years and almost as poignant as his work in the series Longmire. Seldom in this genre are characters developed so richly. What sets this film apart as a horror movie is the touching moments involving Phillips and his father, a man he lost in childhood in the most tragic circumstances but with whom he still has strong connections. The cinematography is also beautifully done as it captures the magnificent vistas and colorful rock formations around which the action unfolds. The thrills are unrelenting and the terror overwhelming throughout, with a shattering climax that will leave audience members emotionally drained. A motion picture that viewers will find terrifying, moving, and deeply satisfying.

I saw just the first hour of this movie trying to see what my guide meant by dead. Then when I find out the movie turns out to suck. The cinematography is horrible with the fact that you can see what is computer generated and what isn't. Give you an example, the first time the zombie gang attacks our "heroes" of this movie one of the marshals is firing out of the SUV and it looks like they used a blue screen either for the character or for the background. Why does a zombie carry around a jackhammer in the first place. Ohhh, and for an added bonus the marshals who are supposed to be trained at firing guns can't hit the jackhammer zombie because they are firing at the jackhammer that is just there.This "MOVIE" doesn't make any sense at all.

Went in with an open mind, looking to watch an entertaining movie and it turned out to be just that... Entertaining. Story could have been stronger, but the idea was very good and kept me watching. The arty camera shaking was pointless but didn't ruin the film for me. Not sure in the direction they wanted to take this film, but its definitely not a horror, more of a road movie with a touch of every other genre.ALL in all, if your lost for what film to watch, definitely worth checking out Route 666, its not the greatest film, but go with an open mind, and don't pick at everything you see, and you'll enjoy the film, I could quite happily sit through it again

Sometimes there are movies that just don't deserve to be called movies and sometimes there are cameramen who just deserve to be shot. By some weird twist "Route 666" isn't a movie and it's shot by a cameraman who should aim at something else with a tool that looks nothing like a camera. I guess you already know the what I mean so I will start the review here if it's OK with you. OK? Good."Route 666" is an abomination that suffers from being a bit more abnormal than it's low budget flick companions. Why? Well, I guess it can have something to do with the retarded storyline, horrible actors, useless FX and the cameraman who makes the "action"-sequences look like something that's been filmed from a washing-machine during an earthquake. I could start picking at every little fault that "Route 666" suffers from but I don't have the time. Just don't watch this movie okay?
