Joy Ride is a good scary movie. What makes the film scary is the lack of a monster, the villain is a real crazy guy who can easily find you.John Dahl makes the film suspenseful with it's dark tone and swift camera angles and the cast all play their roles effectively. I give it *** out of ****.
September 21, 2008I love this movie it is good, and it keeps u guessing what will happen next
May 15, 2008This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Keeps you on the edge of your seat, keeps you wondering whats going to happen next. Good enough to watch over and over. So good I think they should make a sequel. The actors were great & should be in the next movie if ever made. Joy Ride had a mixture of Humor, Suspense, Action & Horror. I reccomend this movie to anyone who enjoys good movies.
May 4, 2008JOY RIDE takes me back to those wonderful horror-on-the-road movies of old, as in classics like DUEL, RACE WITH THE DEVIL, THE (original) HILLS HAVE EYES, THE HITCHER, etc. This time we get the unseen, psychotic trucker (voiced by the immortal Ted Levine) known only by his CB handle: Rusty Nail. Poor old Rusty just can't take a joke. After two traveling brothers (Steve Zahn and Paul Walker) humiliate him, Mr. Nail sets out to exact vengeance in the form of a little "joke" of his own. Let's just say that Rusty's sense of humour is a bit more vicious and visceral than the unwary boys could ever expect! The fun really shifts into high gear once Venna (Leelee Sobieski) finally hops on board. The three kids must find a way to outwit their newfound nemesis before many deaths ensue. JR is a worthy addition to any horror / thriller / suspense dvd shelf. The 29 minute alternate ending is actually decent. It's almost like getting two movies in one! Check it out...
April 25, 2008This is a underrated little gem. Part buddy/road movie part white knuckle thiller. Steve Zahn and Paul Walker are perfect as brothers and prankersters who go way too far. The pacing of the film is great and the way the film looks wonderful. After seeing this film I may never cutoff a truck driver again.
