HELL'S HIGHWAY (2001)
I have watched trailers for this thing for years and finally decided to watch it. At first it just seems so formulaic, but I kept watching. Phoebe Dollar can keep your attention even if she is a little odd looking. Ron Jeremy's cameo was pretty funny, even for Ron, but I just knew where it was going.
Or so I thought.
This flick has the weirdest turn around ending I have seen in a long time.
I initially wanted to discuss it, but even an 11 year old flick deserves a spoiler free mention.
Here's the trailer;
We can discuss it in the comments if you want.
