Death Ride (2006)

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

I will admit that I jumped when the "spirits" or whatever just appeared out of no where but you know what??? The best part of this movie is when it was OVER!!!!!!! I wasted my Halloween movie night on this crap - tastic movie and guess what?? I wasn't scared. period... I will sleep well tonight knowing that I will never ever EVER put myself through this crap again.. Waste of my time, but of course I had to finish it because I started it. The whole movie summed up... Husband cheats. Wife finds out. Couple fight. Husband kills wife. Husband wants to discard wife's body. Travels to lake. During travel, Husband sees "spirits" of wife and Japanese girl friend. Freaks out and horrible acting btw.Runs out of gas. Eventually gets gas and continues to lake. Sees more "spirits" and drives faster. Gets to lake and throws dead wife into lake. Comes to conclusions that Girlfriend seen murder. Races back to Girlfriends house. Kills Girlfriend. Uses chainsaw. Smokes a cigarette. Answers door. Sees both dead wife and girlfriend at door. Goes into mental breakdown. Reality the two dead women are in fact two male police officers. <<< Actually that last part made the entire group of girls LMAO.... There... do not waste your time!!!!

The photographer Greg Ross (Rand Gamble) has an argument with his wife Amanda (Laura Putney) about his affair with the Japanese model Yumi (Hinano Yoshikawa) and he accidentally kills her. He decides to get rid off Amanda's body dumping it in the Black Lake. While driving in a road during the night, Greg recalls moments of his relationship with Amanda and Yumi and is haunted by their ghosts, driving him insane with a tragic conclusion.The feature "Death Ride" is a long and boring journey to insanity through the guilty complex of a character that becomes delusional, blending reality and imagination. The eerie story could be a good short, but the director used a slow pace to make the movie last 84 minutes running time; as the consequence, I found it too long and repetitive, apparently going nowhere for a long time. In addition, the accent of Hinano Yoshikawa is terrible. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "De Carona Com a Morte" ("Riding with Death")

Don't bother renting this. I wish I could say I hated it. I wish I could say I thought it was utter, horrible ... crap... But really... It's just... utterly forgettable.I should have known better than to rent a Lionsgate film without looking it up first, but so help me, I'm a sucker for horror. So. I rented it, brought it home. It deserves its low rating. I wasn't scared even once. I wasn't frightened, I did not empathize with the characters and I did not enjoy a moment of it. The main character is utterly unsympathetic, while both of his victims are, too. I stayed up late to watch this, hoping to see something decent. Instead, I was almost bored to sleep. It's not bad. There's no horrible, horrible acting, the lighting's well done, as is the audio. I'm not giving it 1 star because it's horrible. I'm giving it 1 star because it couldn't even creep me out a little during the most gruesome scene.

Even though the movie got off to a terrible start, I think a big chunk of this movie is very watchable. In fact I think if it were done better, it would be a personal favorite of mine. However, the movie had some serious problems. Particularly the flashbacks are just hard to watch, badly acted and even poorly scripted. I really liked the idea behind the movie, it's too bad certain aspects took a lot of wind out of it's own sails. Low production values didn't help but the effects weren't horrible and the movie was overall pretty scary. It's important to keep in mind that this is a very low budget, independent horror movie. Rent it one night if you can't find anything else, it's better than a lot of "movies" currently hitting the DTV market.6/10
