Quicksilver Highway
A creepy man goes around telling strangers tales that he's heard over the years. One involved killer toy teeth, and another deals with hands forming a revolution against their human counterparts. Considering there were only 2 stories in the whole movie, there wasn't enough to make this story very juicy. The best part of the movie was the mass suicide of the hands, because that was just fucking hilarious! 2 out of 5.
