Fast paced Joy Ride that drives straight into the action and doesn’t let up. The leads do a good job, turning a cliché into genuine thrills.

Intense, many funny moments, kind of terrifying, and over-all just a fun watch. A personal favorite of mine. "You out there candycane?"

It’s been a while, but I remember it being very creepy & thrilling.

Intense update of Spielberg’s Duel. Keeps finding new ways to move the story along maintain your interest.

Fun road thriller, effectively taut and sometimes creepy, Steve Zahn is good comic relief

An edge of your seat thriller. Yet it drags itself out to our protagonists playing victim the entire ride.

This genre is not my type. I only watched for Paul Walker… About 30 minutes in it started to stress me out, but it wound up quite good

Great thriller with plenty of tension and good characters. Joy ride is a fun ride.

Joseph Last Name

A basic horror movie with a pretty interesting villian. Acting is pretty good too.

I actually enjoy this one. It’s a guilty pleasure. Good early 2000’s horror movie.
