Description:
Christopher Lloyd stars as Quicksilver, a delightful collector of oddities. After a newlywed couple's car breaks down, the husband goes off for help. Along comes Quicksilver in his Rolls Royce, offering the fearsome bride refuge. He then tells her a story of a traveling salesman who stops at a rustic little diner and is given a set of "chattering teeth" as a birthday present. He picks up a hitchhiker and trouble follows. In the second story, Matt Frewer plays a petty pickpocket who meets Lloyd in his house of oddities and is todl the story of a plastic surgeon whose hands stage a revolt against him for their independence.

After having read dozens of King and Barker novels and seen a gazillion horror flicks in my life, you can trust me when I say to you that this is the silliest and most boring thing I've seen in a decade.
This movie, hell it's not even worth being called that, can't even scare your 5-year-old, believe me. In my personal opinion, Mick Garris and Chris Lloyd have had their days and should part from the silver screen forever..

Enthusiastically given 5 stars. The stories are well done. And seeing the cameos by Clive Barker, Mick Garris's wife and John Landis was fun. Good production, good actors, good editing. If you like creepy but without the blood and guts, this would be a good place to start.

I've always enjoyed a good horror anthology movie (although I'm not sure after watching this film it actually fits in that category), some of my favorites being (in no particular order) Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965), The House That Dripped Blood (1970), Tales from the Crypt (1972), Asylum (1972), The Vault of Horror (1973), and Creepshow (1982), so, when I Quicksilver Highway (1997) appeared on my radar, I was naturally curious...a curiosity that wasn't necessarily rewarded as I got around ...

Oh man, what a bad movie. But then, what exactly did they want with that movie from the beginning? It's pretty entertaining and reminded more of the Twilight zone stories but both stories and the stuff in between is light years away from the standart of both story tellers. I know 'the body politics' by Barker from the book 'inhuman conditions' in which much much better stories could've been taken into this short story movie.
When all the separated neighbours' hands have a meeting on the ... Read More

The Wrap Around concept that Lloyd plays a part of is quite a great idea. As such, I find Lloyd's work as Quicksilver very malevolent, and is all part of the consummate skill he possesses, in fact Lloyd can be quite a chameleon.
And whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the stories he related, I suspect that this will not appeal to all fans of this genre.
Very worthwhile film; great trip, and hopefully the concept will be "resurrected" at some later stage.
