Review of Route 666

Route 666 (2001)
5/10
Mindless, humorous B-horror
9 August 2001
As Lou and Lori transport 'Rabbit' (Steven Williams), a Federally protected witness from the deserted Route 66 badlands to LA, they must evade mafiosos who want Rabbit dead. They take the cursed and closed 'Route 666' road as a short cut and find themselves tormented by the zombies of four murderer/prisoners who were the center of a violent debacle years earlier.

Entertaining B-horror can be enjoyed if you just sit back and take some meds. There are some humorous examples of bad acting, attempts at taking on a Pulp Fiction sort of dialogue and plot-holes bigger than the desert sky. But hey, that's what you came for. Apparently the FBI doesn't believe in helicopters in this world. I found it particularly humorous when the witness, while handcuffed to the car in the middle of the desert, not only survives a hit attempt, but also survives an attack by the worker-zombies all-the-while Lou is busy having a fist-fight in the desert with one of the other agents while Lori watches the fight, and two of the other agents are getting it on in the back of one of the transport vehicles...the bulletproof suburban as opposed to the convertible the 'protected' witness has been riding in. Awesome.
