I was in town visiting a friend and we happen to walk past an indie theater in down town Albuquerque after eating dinner. We saw the poster for a film called "Road To Hell" was about to start and took a chance that it was decent. The theater was a dump in that Indy vibe way.
The director (I think) introduced the film and then it started with recollection look at Streets of Fire which I'd never seen let alone heard of before. Then Road to Hell started. Wow was it different. I'll have nightmares for weeks as it was probably the darkest film I'd ever seen. Its like if Rodriquez and Tarantino or maybe that crazy dutch filmmaker (can't remember his name) who makes those sick art films like Anti-Christ, made a Human Centipede. This movie is just insane with dark moments where your not sure if you can take it.
But what makes it work is the amazing camera work. I thought it was the most interesting photography I may have ever seen in a movie. There were a few dodgy shots but taken its entirety, remarkable.
Imagine the best surreal art come to life. That's Road to Hell. Had good but not great songs. Did not like the singer who played Ellen. The tight close ups of her face revealed too much nose ring to the point where I could stand it. Its also her songs were sappy but some were effective. Watching her act was better than watching her sing.
Pare can do these parts in his sleep. He was solid and shows he's an actor. The bad bitch, Clare Cramer was super hot the way they shot her scenes. Good actress too.
Not for everyone because its definitely in the artsy section of films but the photography made it a worthwhile 2 hours.
