It's always hard to make a good horror comedy. There are a few that I would mention, Undead Or Alive (2007, a zombedy), Doghouse (2009), Lesbian Vampire Killers (2009) and the best one so far Tucker and Dale vs Evil (201O). This flick here I came across on a sci-fi and horror convention. Sadly I don't have it for US comedy but I was glad I picked it up.This goes sometimes over the top with stupid situations, too many to mention. But the acting was so believable that it really works. By going over the top this flick didn't fall in those stupid tricks like so many US spoofs did. naturally they also had in mind that it should work for horror buffs so a lot of red stuff is added. The gore isn't gory because it is all shown in those funny situations. Even the part were the doorbell rings and a voice says, it's a blond girl standing naked before your door, help, did work because a few seconds later after another scene we really see her standing before that particular door.On part of the acting, they were all okay even as it has a few new names to the genre like Robin Gierhart (Carrie) who gives her first performance here. There are even names from bigger flicks like Nicholas Brendon (Chase Sinclair) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Tom Towles (Louis Debois) from House Of 1000 Corpses.I enjoyed it and that is really a good point because normally I don't like US comedies. I'm more into British comedy but this here is a must see. I laughed out loud.Gore 3/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 4/5

Being that Vampires are so "in" these days, it's pretty much common sense (for anyone who isn't a pre-teen girl) that this modern Vamp-trend is bad news, and should be avoided at all costs. But not so fast! If you didn't know, you need to know that the world of B-Entertainment has also jumped on this bandwagon. A bandwagon which just got a lot bloodier. Blood On The Highway is a micro-budgeted Horror/comedy which flaunts a rotten attitude from beginning to end. We start out with an unlikeable, mean-spirited cast. An annoying wuss, his angry, gold diggin' girlfriend, and his so-called best friend (who is obviously sleeping with the girlfriend), head out for a road trip to a concert. Unfortunately, said wuss gets car sick and vomits all over the map, which only causes the little fella to get bullied even more. It doesn't take long for the pointless trio to wander in to a town of Vampires, only to be rescued and taken to a house of "survivors". Most of which, make the vampires look normal.Blood On The Highway is a Troma-ish Vampire version of Shaun Of The Dead. And despite having a description that makes it sound slightly goofy, Blood On The Highway has a very clever humor about it (I realize I just called it Troma-ish AND clever, but just go with it). Never getting too funny to stop being dark. The three main characters lack of concern for each other, along with their interaction with the other humans, never gets old. And neither does the gore! And if you're now convinced that Blood On The Highway is your kind of movie, but feel it could use a companion piece for a double-feature, Chris Seaver's Taintlight is waiting. So, in closing. If the Twilight saga makes you as sick as it does me, and you happen to love constant tear-inducing comedy, you're gonna wanna give Bloody On The Highway an honest chance. You just might love it. Nevermind the Vamp-trend. Support real independent cinema! 8/10

Three young adults, Bone(Deva George), Sam(Nate Rubin), and Carrie(Robin Gierhart)are heading for a music festival when they accidentally take the wrong turn and end up in a small town overrun with vampires. A labour of love for writers Chris Gardner and Blair Rowan(the former also has a part in the movie as a jerk with penis issues, the latter also co-director), BLOOD ON THE HIGHWAY is a vampire comedy that has sex jokes, blood, gore, and foul language in equal measure. A steady diet of hick humor and violent mayhem in a really low budget effort here. Sometimes, filmmakers contend with a tight shooting schedule and inexperience with a palpable energy and joy that exists. It's easy to see that everyone involved were having a grand ole time participating in this go-for-broke, let-it-all-hang-out exercise in excess and tastelessness. BLOOD ON THE HIGHWAY is crude, and definitely hit-or-miss(mostly miss for me, to tell you the truth, a few moments where I either grinned or let out a minor chuckle), appealing to those who embrace trash/slob humor. Tom Towles and Nicholas Brendon show up in cameo roles(Towles a type of "motivational speaker" in a Colonel Sanders get-up, Brendon the leader of the vampire movement, Vice President of consumer grocery stores that harvest bloodsuckers throughout the country). I think the film's strongest asset is the gore...lots and lots of blood shed and flesh wounds from massive neck gnawing.

I saw this movie at AFI Dallas last year. I laughed my ass off. The writing was fantastic. If you like B movie horror and fast paced comedy you will love this movie. The scene where the vampire clerk (Barak Epstein)who is at first mistaken for an average pot head attacks Nate Rubin's character and gets stuck; has to be one of the most original and funny things I have ever scene. I liked it so much I sought out it's director to buy an advance copy. I have watched it at least a dozen times since. Blood On the Highway is a non stop laugh aroma. Do not watch it while drinking milk unless you like to shoot it through your nose.
