Lucinda is evil incarnate, a demon masquerading as a young female hitchhiker. The film opens with a priest picking her up. We believe she's just a young woman, and he's a psychopath about to make her his eventual victim. Instead we realize that he seems to be on a mission to rid the highway of a demonic spirit terrorizing motorists, and, lets just say he's unsuccessful. A group of four, two couples, from Pennsylvania, are on their way to a beach in California to party and have some fun when they have the misfortune of picking up Lucinda. Lucinda almost immediately goes Rutger Hauer on them, pulling a gun and threatening to kill them. Ron Jeremy has an amusing cameo as a movie-maker who becomes a castration victim at the hands of Lucinda! Low, low, low production values, tacky gore, non-acting from a mostly porn cast(including Beverly Lynn who is actually a better actress in sex flicks directed by Fred Olen Ray under the pseudonym Nicholas Medina), crappy sound, and cringe-worthy dialogue sink this Bismarck. Lynn's naked body doesn't hurt, although you can see her in lots of pornographic material with better budgets than this turkey! Funniest scene could be when Sarah(whose crotch was fondled by Lucinda at gunpoint)has a nightmare of being attacked by a hideous demon. "Where's her head?! Where's her *bleeping* head?!" HELL'S HIGHWAY might be notable for the one scene where Lucinda's body is dragged down the road by her intestines! Jeff Leroy does get to homage Blair Witch Project with one camcorder scene where a girl's face is emphasized while running from danger and Texas CHAINSAW when Lucinda wields a chainsaw after severing an arm with the sun in the background. A corny toy satellite, stare downs and silence, and even some hogwash about cloning experiments using a serum which causes insanity are injected into this goofy horror movie. With Phoebe Dollar as Lucinda and Kiren David as heroine Sarah.
