Many times I’ve driven the I-15 with its traffic accidents and congestion and thought of it as the road to hell. However, that highway pales when compared to the concrete stretch of horror and murderous mayhem filmmaker Albert Pyun has created on screen with his 50th film ROAD TO HELL.
The action-fantasy feature was inspired by Walter Hill’s cult classic STREETS OF FIRE and began shooting in Los Angeles in June 2008. Although it had its world premiere at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin, Texas in October of that year the film has undergone several edits and revisions since. As a result although it had other screenings such as at the Patio Theater on March 9, 2013 and a Las Vegas screening during the PollyGrind Film Festival in 2012 it wasn’t until recently that the film found a distributor. “I wasn’t going to let this one go out until I felt I had done everything possible. So many of my films were wrenched away before I finished them to my satisfaction. Not this time. Plus, I didn’t need for the film to help my career or earn money so for the first time in my life, I could focus on making the best version of the story I wanted to tell,” Albert explained.
