"The horns blowing, the lights, the brakes," says a jaded Dana Andrews to wife Jeanne Crain. "Jingle bells (on the radio), the whole thing!"
As HOT RODS TO HELL only begins as a Christmas movie after East Coast traveling-salesman Dana Andrews suffers a major car accident on December 24th, and, after months of traction, winds up with a motel in Arizona... But only IF he and his family can survive the red convertible (titular) menace with only 80 miles left to their new destination...
The cocky speed demon behind the wheel is Paul Bertoya with jerky sidekick Gene Kirkwood riding shotgun while instigating blonde Mimsy Farmer holds the roll-bar in-between...
And while her fickle driver/beau seduces Dana's daughter Laurie Mock... first at a rest stop and then at the motel's connected live-band nightclub (a better climax than the overlong midnight "chicken" match later on)... SHE flirts with the middle-age swinger who sold the motel being tired of those bratty delinquents... who are now dead set against the "square" new owners (with a peppy son Jeffrey Byron) in what's mostly a stalking car chase along the daytime desert highway... that actually can be intense until the heated havoc shows up on Jeanne Crain's hilariously overacting expressions. Meanwhile, one-time A-list Andrews spouts vapid dialogue like "What kind of animals are those?" for which he gets no reply, only a whole lotta HELL that's pure heaven for b-movie fans who thought they'd seen everything!
