In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Quicksilver Highway (1997)
A horror by Mike Garris, starring Christopher Lloyd.
A story teller meets 2 people and tells a story to each, based on how he meets them. In the first story, a traveling salesman picks up novelty teeth and a hitchhiker at a roadside tourist trap. In the second, a man's hands rebel against him.
This was the cheesy type of stuff that I would expect from an '80s film, not '97. The characters and plots were very superficial. The style was nearly worthless and Christopher Lloyd doesn't look cool dressed goth. The DeLorean should have popped into existence and taken him back to a film that he belongs in. Despite the main character not fitting the film, he was the coolest part of it. I'm rating this poor for being too cheesy for my tastes (yeah, that takes a lot!).
