Route 666
A group of US Marshals take a shortcut through an abandoned highway to bring a witness to his court date on time. On the way down Route 666, they are attacked by ghosts of prisoners who were killed and buried in the road years ago. A so-so movie with an average amount of gore. A few of the characters were well developed, but the others had no personality. There are a few twists and turns along the way, but this movie just wasn't that scary. 3 out of 5.

Random Thoughts and Things Learned
- When shooting at a man with a bullet proof vest, try to shoot around the vest.
- If the killer ghosts can only kill on the road, then I would stay off the road.
- Shooting a steam roller will not stop it.
