i think that a religious sermon wouldn't be scared... i guess this has something similar to all king movies with more than one tale... it's cinematography is very good, and acting is not bad.it's just that it comes across lame and very cheesy... nothing to be seen here...i give my points from technical aspects...otherwise a miss... i've seen a lot worse too, but this is not a winner.the rest of the lines i'll recommend some horror-movies: the brood the uninvited the entity changeling ...those kinda movies have some depth

At the time of this writing I'm a bit confused because the version I saw gave the "hand" story first followed by the "teeth" story, but comments here and on Amazon say the movie presents the two stories the other way around. And it should be noted that I haven't read the original stories; I judge the movie as a stand-alone form of entertainment.So, imagine what would happen if your hands stopped responding to commands from your brain and began doing whatever *they* wanted to do. And what if your hands plotted a revolution requiring an army of hands from other people. If you happened to see the modern "Addams Family" remake then you can extrapolate: picture a bunch of "Thing" hands running around free. I thought the army, and how they got that way, were very funny. OK, there is a rather serious horror story going on in the background, and Matt Frewer does some excellent hand-acting.As for the second story, well, I can't say much without giving too much away. But I was blown away by my favorite character, the wind-up teeth. I have a small collection of similar wind-ups, similar in that they walk or play instruments, but I never saw anything like these teeth. I felt totally torn between the seriousness of a hitchhiker-horror story and the humor of a wind-up character. Enjoy, just for fun.

Christopher Lloyd's name on the cover, Clive Barker in the writing credits and a nice enough sounding titles…those indicators were enough for me to give this film a chance….A decision I already regret. Quicksilver Highway tells two lame and tedious stories, even though the respected authors Stephen King and Clive Barker wrote them. Lloyd stars as the host and he looks like some kind of goofy masochist with a fetish for the occult. The first tale (by Clive Barker) is laughable effort in which a salesman is saved from a criminal hitchhiker by a set of chattering teeth-toy. I kid you not… My little niece has a toy like that and I must say it really looks scary indeed. I didn't think it would be possible but King's story is even lousier. The hands of a surgeon all of a sudden decide to organize a revolution and they want to be separated from the body! Talking hands, people…give me a break! Both stories run low on creativity and they're extremely repetitive…You'd be better of watching `The Hitcher' instead of the first story and `The Beast With 5 Fingers' instead of the second one. In the film, Christopher Lloyd keeps on stressing that his tales contain no moral at all…Well, it would have been better if he also mentioned they were pointless and a complete waste of time.

Stephen King may be the man behind Shawshank Redemption, Dolores Clairborne and the Green Mile. But he was also the man behind Thinner, Children of the Corn and one of the worst episodes of the X-Files ever. Clive Barker (you could say he is King's English counterpart) was the writer behind Hellraiser, Lord of Illusions. But he was also the man behind the novel Coldheart Canyon. Both writers have talent. But they have pitfalls too; we are all human.And Quicksilver Highway isn't exactly their best.Quicksilver Highway seems like a movie made out of two mediocre stories that came out of the minds of two great writers. Perhaps they were among their worst stories. If that was the case, they shouldn't have made it to television. The first one, the Clattering Teeth, isn't so bad. But it is unoriginal and dull. So dull you just want it to end. But it goes on and on. Eventually it becomes tiresome; since this movie was made for TV, you may find yourself going to the kitchen to look inside the refrigerator before it ends and the other one begins. The second story, the one written by Clive Barker, seems more like the work of Stephen King. Here we have a hand that gets life of its own and turn against its owner. Soon other hands join a revolution. The story could have consumed thirty minutes of your life. But it didn't stop when it should have. Just like the first story, it went on and on. Maybe you can forget about the hands walking around on their own and return to the kitchen. This film may help you gain weight but gets short when it comes to entertaining us. Quicksilver Highway only has two stories. Not five or three like Creepshow I and II. After you watch this film, you feel like you have escaped out of a neverending nightmare. It is obvious that they wanted to stretch the stories long enough to make a film and not another episode of the Twilight Zone.Perhaps it is a good idea to avoid this one at all cost.
