"Road to Hell" played at the Rave Motion Pictures in Las Vegas to a Big Happy Audience for PollyGrind Underground Film Festival. I went because I love The Roxy Gunn Project. I already knew the music would be great but I didn't expect the movie to be so shocking. At first I was shocked but then some of the audience laughed at places that told me it was okay to laugh. The movie is very different, but the music carries you into it. I never knew where it was going. I had not seen the movie it is supposedly based on "Streets of Fire", but they play a couple scenes to help us understand better. The music was fantastic and some of the audience chair danced. The lead actor, Michael Pare' was so young and beautiful in the first movie and in "Road to Hell" he looks 'rode hard and put away wet' but he is Movie Star all over - both scary and fascinating.
The female lead Clare Kramer is All Scary until the end when I felt sad for her ...which was quite a feat from where she started out. At the end we learn just how messed up she was. The Best is Roxy Gunn in her first movie role. She was Luminous - tough on the outside, but you could see through to how fragile she was. She still needs her father, CODY to be her father. CODY somehow managed to be a Monster, a Dad and a Hero. To enjoy this movie, you have to let go of thinking you know what will happen next. It's not mainstream for sure and it will have to find a Wild & Crazy audience. Count me in.
