Quicksilver Highway 1997  TV, 88 min.
Genre: Horror / Thriller
Director: Mick Garris
Cast: Christopher Lloyd, Matt Frewer, Raphael Sbarge, Melissa Lahlitah Crider, Veronica Cartwright, Silas Weir Mitchell, Bill Nunn, Bill Bolender, Amelia Neinle, Clive Barker, John Landis, William Knight, Kevin Grevioux, William Knight, Cynthia Garris
Christopher Lloyd hosts this made-for-TV film that presents two sub-par stories concerning body parts. In Stephen King's "Chattery Teeth," a man who has a set of chattering teeth picks up a hitchhiker, and the teeth do not seem to care for the guest. In Clive Barker's "Body Politic," a man's artificial hand takes control, leaves his body, and sets out to start a revolution of the hands.

It doesn't take long before it is evident that evil forces are at work at the hotel.

A mother, Mary Brady (Alice Krige), and her son Charles (Brian Krause) move into a sleepy Midwestern town; it soon becomes clear that the couple is not your run-of-the-mill family, but turn into monstrous sleepwalkers that prey on young virgins for their life force.
