Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Robert W. I didn't realize when I started watching Quicksilver Highway that it was a made for TV movie and as I was watching I just kept thinking...this feels more like two Television episodes than a feature film. The movie is in the same vein as The Hitchhiker, or The Twilight Zone, or Creepshow...two stories interwoven with a narrator in this case Aaron Quicksilver, a slightly creepy carnival showman who seems to have obscure stories to tell. The two stories which apparently are in various orders depending on where you see them are definitely obscure, outrageous and absolutely out there. The great thing about the two stories is they treat them so seriously, the actors, the film maker, everyone does not treat them like B-Movie fodder but serious film which is funny in itself given how outrageous both stories are. Gore is in decent amounts given that it is a TV movie and there is some strong performances but the disappointing part is I think that you expect a lot more given two powerhouse writers behind the helm like Stephen King and Clive Barker. I don't feel like they really gave this script their all.Christopher Lloyd brings his eccentric quirky style to the narrator of the story. Some reviewers have said Lloyd isn't right for the goth like character but Lloyd does eccentric like few others and he is a legend so I enjoyed seeing him on screen. A terrific character actor Matt Frewer gives a solid performance in an incredibly strange story as a surgeon whose hands revolt against him. Ironically the thing I remember Frewer the most from is Honey I Shrunk the Kids but it should be noted he was also the man behind the 80's icon Max Headroom. Frewer is a great actor. Raphael Sbarge is another great character actor and does a great job as lonely traveller Bill Hogan. His story doesn't have quite the intensity as the other but he still does a solid job. Silas Weir Mitchell is terrific as the insane hitchhiker out for blood. Bill Nunn, Veronica Cartwright, and Missy Crider round out the supporting cast and are good in their respective roles although they don't get a lot of screen time.Director Mick Garris has had some real success in adapting horror stories especially King's, some of his best include The Stand and The Shining TV remake and he does well when he's given the right script. Quicksilver Highway is just a little bit silly. Its fun in a lot of ways and it made me smile in a rather twisted guilty way. Between the two stories Chattery Teeth was the better of the two but The Body Politic was really bordering on absurdity. The hands revolting with their tiny voices and silly revolution was hard to buy even in the world of movies. When all is said and done die hard fans like me might find something worthy in this double dipping of horror/sci-fi stories but it certainly won't be memorable other than for its over the top style. 6.5/10

dragonlady782000 Steven King really must have lost it with this movie. Who ever thought that a chattering teeth toy could kill some one, I mean come on who thinks that is scary? I just thought it was so stupid that it was funny. I laughed through the part that the teeth attacked the guy in the recked van. Christopher Lloyd is pretty weird in this movie as well. Who ever thinks this movie is scary has never watched any movie that makes you jump. This I think is just a movie that doesn't even make sense to have even been made. But this story is funny to watch. This might just scar little kids in to not playing with chattering teeth toys, but I know some kids that this wouldn't scar.

Theo Robertson It`s misleading to describe QUICKSILVER HIGHWAY as a TV movie because it feels like two episodes of an anthology show like THE TWILIGHT ZONE stuck together . By that I mean Mr Quicksilver relates the stories at two different locations , a desert(ed ) highway and a funfair . Is there any reason for this apart from the denounements ? As for the stories themselves CHATTERING TEETH is probably the better but only when it`s being played straight devoid of its silly supernatural tones. Giving a ride to a hitch hiker who seems to border on the psycotic , yeah a good premise that ends up being ignored which seems to have been a problem with Stephen King stories for many years I did read Clive Barker`s THE BODY POLITIC many years ago . It`s an imaginative story and one which I couldn`t help admiring Barker`s writing skills . However it`s one of those fantasy tales that is unfilmable since a revolution involving hands will come across as totally bizarre and unintentionally funny when realized on screen . So I`ve got to disagree with the chap who said THE BODY POLITIC is both tongue in cheek and misunderstood - No it`s not , it only comes across that way down to using a different meduim to what Barker envisaged And also got to repeat my criticism that this " TVM " feels like a failed anthology series with two episodes stuck together

Roddy-15 Stephen King may be the man behind Shawshank Redemption, Dolores Clairborne and the Green Mile. But he was also the man behind Thinner, Children of the Corn and one of the worst episodes of the X-Files ever. Clive Barker (you could say he is King's English counterpart) was the writer behind Hellraiser, Lord of Illusions. But he was also the man behind the novel Coldheart Canyon. Both writers have talent. But they have pitfalls too; we are all human.And Quicksilver Highway isn't exactly their best.Quicksilver Highway seems like a movie made out of two mediocre stories that came out of the minds of two great writers. Perhaps they were among their worst stories. If that was the case, they shouldn't have made it to television. The first one, the Clattering Teeth, isn't so bad. But it is unoriginal and dull. So dull you just want it to end. But it goes on and on. Eventually it becomes tiresome; since this movie was made for TV, you may find yourself going to the kitchen to look inside the refrigerator before it ends and the other one begins. The second story, the one written by Clive Barker, seems more like the work of Stephen King. Here we have a hand that gets life of its own and turn against its owner. Soon other hands join a revolution. The story could have consumed thirty minutes of your life. But it didn't stop when it should have. Just like the first story, it went on and on. Maybe you can forget about the hands walking around on their own and return to the kitchen. This film may help you gain weight but gets short when it comes to entertaining us. Quicksilver Highway only has two stories. Not five or three like Creepshow I and II. After you watch this film, you feel like you have escaped out of a neverending nightmare. It is obvious that they wanted to stretch the stories long enough to make a film and not another episode of the Twilight Zone.Perhaps it is a good idea to avoid this one at all cost.
