Shay C Pretty good actually. Some horror. Not too much though. Has a usual horror movie ending. Almost for sure will never see this movie again, but it was worth a watch. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Pedro G Muy buena película, una cinta muy tensa que me sorprendió mucho. Esta es una película que desde el primer momento te mantiene enganchado, ya que arranca rápido y a los 15 minutos comienza a ponerse todavía mejor. La historia es algo simple, pero maneja muy bien los momentos de suspenso, generando escenas muy tensas en muchas partes de la cinta; esto sin dudas me parece de lo mejor que tiene la película. Los personajes son geniales, podes empatizar con todos y no son los típicos adolescentes de una cinta de terror/suspenso. Por otro lado, las actuaciones me parecen excelentes, principalmente las de Steve Zahn, Paul Walker y Leelee Sobieski. Si hay algo que no me gusto es lo poco que se explica del personaje del camionero, ya que no es común que se tome así de mal la broma que le hacen, además de que su camión es literalmente una bestia que arrasa con todo lo que choca. Por ultimo, destacar los efectos, ya que están bastante bien logrados. En conclusión, una muy buena película, una cinta que logra mantener al espectador entretenido debido a su atrapante historia, junto con escenas tensas muy bien logradas y un cast excelente. La recomiendo. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Snuggly I couldn't watch it. Those brother were DUMB every step of the way! Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Antione H I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Simple premise, very straightforward story that had lots of Intense suspenseful scenes that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time.Something that started off as benign joke between two brothers turns in a nightmare quick. I think the two leads did pretty good job & it's a distance amount of character development where you get invested just enough to genuinely care about what happens to them.(Lewis) is the younger brother but yet more mature & level headed as the older brother (fuller) inferior irrational one who seems like he's struggling to get his life together. The common misconception is that with age comes a level of maturity but that's not the case, But I love his enthusiasm through out the whole film & he had some non-intentional funny moments.I think the movies does a great job at not fully revealing the man identity in the truck, pretty much keeping it a mystery which adds to the eeriness. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review Kathy N Huge disappointment. Cheap raunchy jokes and a tired old plot. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/23 Full Review Eddie M A lot of fun. They went there. As good as Bridesmaids and the Hangover.

Critics Reviews

Anthony Breznican Associated Press Although its premise may not be original, Joy Ride is still tense, chilling escapism. Oct 25, 2018 Full Review Jamie Russell BBC.com Rated: 4/5 Aug 20, 2002 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone If you're looking to have your nerves fried and your pulse pounded, this is your ticket to ride. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 29, 2001 Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting The film yields every now and then so viewers can catch their breath, but once this taut and frantic thriller picks up speed again, Joy Ride earns its place as one of the best movies of its kind. Rated: 4/5 Jul 23, 2023 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast While it's not perfect, Joy Ride manages to steer us in the direction of a memorable villain and an incredibly suspenseful climax. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 12, 2021 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Its use of female characters hasn't aged particularly well, but this high octane highway horror has great action, particularly the climax. The ties to gay panic, hate crimes and Matthew Shepard's death only makes Joy Ride more interesting Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
