The citizens of sleepy small town Fate, TX gather for the grand opening of Consumart, a shiny new one-stop-shopping box store. The eager consumers gleefully pour into the store as the doors open at sundown. Why is the grand opening at sundown? Who cares, they've got cut-rate prices on plasma screens and baby clothes! DVDs! Mayonnaise! Coffins! Coffins? And before they have to time to really question this item, terror ensues and the store erupts into a bloodbath. A few weeks later, three oblivious, self-absorbed twenty somethings - CARRIE, SAM, and BONE - head out on a road trip to Mr. Fire (a festival which shares only minor non-litigious similarities, all of a purely coincidental nature, to Burning Man) and accidentally wander into Fate, unaware of its population's ill-fated transformation... into vampires. Being that the heroes are 20-somethings, they do it. Carrie, a shallow hothead, is dating Sam's wallet, er, Sam, who is a whiny, naive, hypochondriac rich boy. Bone, a callous hard-ass with a venomous way of speech, is still nursing a desire for Carrie predicated upon a drunken, frivolous one night stand. After a run-in with two blood-thirsty convenience store clerks in which Sam is repeatedly bitten and attacked and Bone is forced to slaughter them, our protagonists begin it wonder if something strange might be going on in the town. Luckily, but only in the sense that they didn't get murdered, the three stumble upon the only surviving humans in town: BYRON VON JONES, a trigger-happy, conspiracy theorist militia member; LYNETTE VON JONES, a haggard, trailer park slut and the only surviving wife out of Byron's harem; and ROY JACKSON (Chris Gardner), a cowardly, lying frat boy in his early 20s. The group bands together and takes shelter in Roy's ranch house, surrounded by hundreds of vampires intending to torch the property before sunrise, so they don't have to go home and try again the next day. Will our heroes escape death and transformation? Will Bone win over Carrie's dubious and indifferent heart? Does he even really care? And will the nefarious corporate franchise relevance to the plot ever be explained?

| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinCheesy self aware horror movie chockfull of gory gags and sex jokes, a few of which click. May find a home with cultists looking to adopt. |
| User ReviewDoug DThis is a classic. Great dialogue, snappy responses. Keeps the momentum going through the last scene. Gory funny vampireness, actually made me thirsty. Good extras on the DVD also. "Seriously, not even vomit could tarnish that sweet a$$." is only the beginning. Enjoy. |
| User ReviewDaniele Mdumb gore, dumb vampires, dumb jokes, liked it! |
| User ReviewBrody MThis is probably the cheesiest movie ever but I had to give it a 3 because the soundtrack made me laugh so hard. |
| User ReviewNick AOriginal movie that is part spoof, part horror. I liked it because it was refreshing, it didn't take itself seriously, and the leading actress was worth looking at. In general nobody here will win any oscars, but that shouldn't stop the audience from enjoying themselves a bit. |
| User ReviewTyler HA good low budget horror comedy, full of non-stop, goofy, slapstick vulgar humor, that had me cracking up the whole time. I liked all the characters too, especially the two leads, and it also had tons and tons blood. Highly recommended for anyone that loves a goofy little horror/comedy, like myself. I had a total blast with this one. |
| User ReviewPedro CPelicula de vampiros con bastante de humor negro, y muy bajo presupuesto. Se deja ver, es entretenida x momentos, aunque demasiado cargada en determinados momentos la pelicula se vuelve despareja. Destaca la actuacion especial de NICHOLAS BRENDON (QUE GORDO QUE ESTAS), y de una jovencita muy bonita mezcla de Avrile Lavige y Buffy en sus años de secundaria. |
| User ReviewAndrew NBlood on the Highway is an ultra-low-budget horror/comedy. It's never really scary, although there's plenty of fake blood and gross-out gags. The comedy is hit and miss. The goofy, vulgar script has some laughs, some of the acting is pretty amateurish and there are stretches that really drag. |
