Devil's Highway is a 2005 American horror film directed by Fabien Pruvot, written by Jennifer Farrell, and starring Shane Brolly, Robert Miano, Al Sapienza, and Natassia Malthe as passengers on a bus who are targeted by a demon.
Roger, a thief, picks up a female hitchhiker. Later, he boards a tour bus headed to Las Vegas; the woman is no longer with him. Roger goes missing at the bus' first stop, and, thereafter, another passenger disappears at each stop. The missing passengers are later revealed to be the victims of a demon that can jump from body to body, able to possess them at will. As each character's back story and secrets are revealed, they are targeted by the demon.
Devil's Highway was directed by Fabien Pruvot.
Jon Condit of Dread Central rated it 1/5 stars and wrote that it does not effectively use its "relatively interesting concept". Serene Dominic of the Metro Times called it "part Dante's Inferno and part Murder on the Orient Express". Thomas Spurlin of DVD Talk rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "[T]he visual crispness and simple, character-driven plot within this eerie mystery makes this one worth a watch."
Devil's Highway won best feature and best cinematography at the 2005 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.
Image Entertainment released Devil's Highway on DVD on February 27, 2007.
