Quicksilver Highway

1997 · 90 min

A creaky campfire anthology with a hammy host, cheap chills and goofy creature scares that play more silly than frightening.

Overview: Aaron Quicksilver is a mysterious storyteller whose listeners invariably end up as the subjects of his gruesome, grisly tales. He tells a new bride stranded on a desert highway a horrifying account of a set of carnivorous toy teeth, then entrains a pickpocket with the spine chilling story of an army of murderous, disembodied hands.
How it feels: Eerie, campy, dark and absurd. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Madness, obsession, fate, violence
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
