Highway to Hell is a 1992 American horror comedy directed by Ate De Jong. It was released on March 13, 1992 after being finished in 1989.When a young, eloping couple takes a creepy backroad on the way to their wedding in Vegas, Rachel (Kristy Swanson) is kidnapped by a demon cop, Sgt. Bedlam, who plans to deliver her to Satan to be his bride. Rachel's fiance Charlie (Chad Lowe) travels to hell to rescue her. But it's a long, treacherous road to hell, and along the way he'll run into other demons, historical nasties, mythological creatures like Cerberus, and even Satan himself. The ever-persistent Hellcop, who chases the duo to hell and back, is considered to be one of the highlights of the film.The movie also stars Patrick Bergin, Jarrett Lennon, Adam Storke, Pamela Gidley, CJ Graham, Anne Meara, Lita Ford, and Richard Farnsworth. | |

Literal Metaphor | |
| Highway to Hell / int_8cf6aa | comment |
Literal Metaphor: The movie has a scene where the old proverb "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" is taken very literally; in the scene, the souls of good-intentioned sinners are ground into the pavement by a team of workers who look like Andy Warhol, from the Good Intentions Paving Company. "I was only sleeping with my husband's boss to advance his career", one of them says sadly. | |
