Watch Joy Ride For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Three young people on a road trip from Colorado to New Jersey talk to a trucker on their CB radio, then must escape when he turns out to be a psychotic killer. Joy Ride does go into familiar territory at times with it's story and has some horror cliches i won't doubt that but there's some great suspense moments, Zhan and Walker are really great and the overall film is nicely crafted it's no masterpiece but it's a well made horror film. (7.5/10)

PROS: If their is one thing that I can say was the best part about this movie it would be how intense it was. There was a really nice section in the movie where you got to actually dive into the plot. The progression of intensity was slow but impactful, because by the time you got to the end you were on the edge of your seat, white knuckling the arm rests, with your mouth dropped to the floor. You really got invested in what was happening, and you wanted nothing more but to help the characters. You felt pain when they felt pain and you felt scared when they felt scared. This quality makes for a great horror.CONS: I understand that this was a car horror, but there was so little believability in the second half of the movie. This aggravated me. What got you from point a to point b in the film was abstract in a bad way. The things that you would normally find to be interesting were so loosely connected that you ended up getting lost in the process and not in the actual film itself.www.chorror.com

Without a notable road horror movie since The Hitcher, Joy Ride came out and became a hit with younger audiences and established itself as one of the better horror films at the start of the twenty first century in 2001. The idea of two brothers playing pranks on a trucking radio systems is a good initial concept of a thrilling road movie. Not being able to see the trucker but his car, the voice had to sound creepy and believable. The rugged voice hit the mark pretty well and led to some highly quotable remarks, for instance "Candyy Cannne"… The film is exciting overall but the beginning, middle and ending seemed a bit detached at times, a blemish on the writing and editing throughout.

Three young people on a road trip from Colorado to New Jersey talk to a trucker (Ted Levine) on their CB radio, then must escape when he turns out to be a psychotic killer.This film is sort of like "Duel", though some or most of the action takes place outside of the car. Play a prank on a trucker and this is what might happen. Especially when the trucker has the voice of Buffalo Bill.I thought this film was great. A bit far-fetched at times, because there is no realistic way the trucker could hunt these kids down. But giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he is an expert tracker and caught their license plate at some point...
