Haunted Highway tries to use acting to make up for what it lacks in style and originality. While the acting is passable, the editing is terrible. Long dramatic pauses where none were needed and camera angles that are just too close up in most cases. The camera work could have been better, but it was not too bad. The story revolves around an unstable creepy guy who makes a series of bad decisions and winds up paying for them by being haunted along a stretch of highway while trying to hide his dirty deeds. The highway was more like a rural side street, and obviously gave the viewer problems as the car took a right angle turn, according to the arterial signs, at 80mph. There was nothing endearing about any of the characters, so there was no emotional attachment to anyone. I'm sure all this would go over really well in Japan, but not in America. Watch it if you have some time to kill.
