MONSTER FEST WEEKENDER: HIGHWAY TO HELL Remakes don’t usually hit this hard but Alexandre Aja’s brutal, blood-soaked retelling of Wes Craven’s desert vacay nightmare cranks up the terror, tension, and gore, unleashing a hillbilly mutant free-for-all. Fun for the whole family, guaranteed. When the Carter family’s cross-country trip takes a wrong turn into a remote stretch of desert, they find themselves stranded and picked off one by one by a clan of savage, bloodthirsty mutants. As the body count rises and escape becomes impossible, the survivors are pushed to breaking point and forced to fight back with extreme, take-no-prisoners violence. Starring Aaron Stanford, Kathleen Quinlan, Vinessa Shaw, Dan Byrd, and Australia’s own Emilie de Ravin, this is family time at its most vicious.
