goofy but great!!!
This movie is great if you like corny movies like me and are tired of the same boring hollywood garbage get this movie!!!

No 'Evil Dead'.
Not up to the standard of Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" trilogy. Some funny moments, one great death, amusing cameos. This is basically a comedy/horror retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, right down to the three-headed hound at the gates of Hades, the Styx and the instruction to not look back. Disappointing ending. Like its scenery, the movie seems a little dry and barren. Some good effects though. Some not so good.

Highway to Hell
Perhaps it's not perfect, because of lack of budget. But it is very unusual and goes way beyond the average horror flick. Somewhere behind all the strange and funny events there is a deep humanity and wisdom. This could become a undiscovered classic in fifty years from now. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This not-quite-black comedy was probably a laugh riot on paper. The translation almost works, but the execution is flawed. Phoebe Cates is a recently separated young woman who suddenly begins to see her supposedly imagined childhood friend (Drop Dead Fred) after moving back into her mother's home. Is he a manifestation of her secret desires to ditch the boorish spouse? Or was he real all along? Rik Mayall is a limber, carrot-topped Brit with the lamentable assignment of trying to make us laugh with vulgar, sophomoric trickery. He is supposedly the repository of Cates's fastidious repression but is more annoying than cathartic. Read more

good kids movie
I always enjoyed this as a kid.Watching it years later I was surprised to find out again it is such a touching story.Drop Dead Fred almost made me cry today.A movie for kids and adults, just don't take that pill!
a very grown-up kid's movie
Ambiguously "imaginary" friend Drop Dead Fred sums up the movie's premise when he says, "You see, when something's not working right, the best thing to do is tear it apart to make it better." (He's referring to dismantling a jack-in-the-box in order to garnish a mud pie.)
This movie just SUCKS!
This is one of, if not the worst movie I've almost seen. I got up and walked out of it and got my money back. Cates gives me serious wood but even that couldn't keep me watching it. DO NOT waste your money! I would, if I could, give it a negative star rating, one star is way too good for it. ... Read more
