I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Wonderfully offbeat film!

People are voting emotionally.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Well for a slasher movie it delivers a great atmosphere into the genre, the film is although surprisingly scary and totally could become a cult classic in a decade, i would totally watch this film, any time this film would play i suggest this film for horror fans. It was fun exciting, and sick, although the ending did fall a bit

I really don't know what to say. This film is terrible. I'm mean, it's not crap. It 'did' have some gory moments, but it just didn't cut it. It's one of those films looks good but is really crap when you come to watch it.I was expecting some interesting deaths considering the concept of the film. But really they were badly executed. Either by stabbing or slashing. It was terrible. The only death I did actually like was the ending part where the villain/clown got impaled in the spikes at the end. That to me, was one of the only epic scene from the film. Aside from the beginning which was pretty good.Now I'm not one for going on about clichés & I'm not. But this film took the cake. i.e. female soul survivor, lack of phone signal, naive characters, muscular lead character, a funny guy, whining 'hot' girls. Need I go on?The blood & gore was average, but the deaths were not. Especially considering it's an 18! Story line was OK, with a good twist but, a very VERY bad ending! It was quite confusing & crap! It sucked so bad!!Overall I'd say this film was disappointing. Though I bought this one 2nd hand I'm still down after watching this. I just don't understand how this would pass any directors standards! Wouldn't pass mine I can tell you that! It's still a mystery to me as to why films like this get made & aren't bloody or gory, let alone interesting enough! 2/10

Dark Ride is a movie that could have been so much fun to watch. A slasher film in the most cliché possible way. Done by the book. College students going to on spring break, decide to go to a dark ride as a dare, smoke weed, tell a spooky ghost story about what happened in the dark ride, etc, etc. It starts off cliché but yet it starts off strong. I was intrigued and was drawn in. It was building up extremely well. The actors all did well, the set was very neat (think Child's Play 3 final act) and the antagonist was built up to be a very memorable character. It all falls in the third act where the slaughter actually begins. The actors seemed to play college students having fun pretty well but being terrified, and running for the lives, a different story. A lot of their emotion seemed fake. There was a scene where it clearly looked like they were trying to run for their lives, but the actual speed that they were walking in, and in the momentary pauses where one would wait for another to go through something were very unconvincing. And the ending was very disappointing. I didn't mind the "twist" but the way they did it almost seemed too obvious, and even then, it didn't really change anything for the better. The twist didn't make anything more sickening, and the way it ended abruptly made it seem like the twist didn't even have enough time to explain itself. This movie is only for horror movie fans who have nothing to watch. I wouldn't put it on anyone's list of must watch, more of a one watch and your done forever. You could find better.

For a slasher movie, "Dark Ride" really is pretty much okay. The setting was great (a carnival's Haunted House, so in that sense "Dark Ride" reminds us a bit of Tobe Hooper's "Funhouse") and some of the killings were quite memorable. But... I expected a bit more twist-juice in the end. You just know very soon what the obvious twist at the end will be, so I was pretty sure the filmmakers would give us something else. Something more. Something unexpected. But sadly, they didn't. I didn't have as much fun with Dark Ride as I did with, for instance, a movie like the "House Of Wax" re-make, but still, it's a fun ride for slasher fans in general.
