Kattiera Nana 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.

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

MrGKB ...and notable for only a few things, which I will try to keep within the minimal word requirement for these comments. One: its ostensible star is Jamie-Lynn "The Sopranos" Sigler, although her role is mundane and she fails to exhibit the requisite flesh of an exploitation film, and very little in the way of acting chops. Two: it features an amusing "in media res" decapitation that gives new meaning to the expression, "getting head." And three: there's a "splitting headache" murder that sets up the only genuine giggle in the entire film. That's pretty much it. We do get the requisite exploitation nudity from Andrea "Dark Wolf" Bogart (along with a horrendously absurd monologue), and production values that somewhat belie the obvious low-budget nature of the piece. Desperation viewing only, save for the above three points, and that's all I've got to say. You've been warned.

masakiuma At an amusement park, two twin girls enter the "Dark Ride," one of those amusement park houses of horror where you go along a track and stuff pops out at you, and are killed by a madman. 15 years later, he escapes from an insane asylum and heads back to his killing grounds just as a group of college kids are about to illegally spend the night in the Dark Ride. Pretty typical "psycho kills stupid teens" premise.For those of you who have never heard of it, this movie is out of the original "After Dark Horrorfest - 8 Films to Die For" set. They usually get slammed by critics, but I tend to enjoy them, both the campy ones and the serious ones. This one tends to land on the campy side, IMO.Overall it was pretty enjoyable. Any real gripes I could come up with would just be nit-picking. Even though most of the cast is made up of unknowns (except the girl from The Sopranos and the guy from The Sandlot) but for the most part they all did an acceptable job. If you like slasher films, you will probably like it. The premise is cliché, but there were some decent twists that I didn't really see coming.Final Score - 6/10

Claudio Carvalho In 1989, in New Jersey, two sisters are killed in a ghost train in the greatest attraction of the Asbury Park, the Dark Ride. The police arrest the serial killer that is sentenced to life in a mental institution; finds fourteen other bodies hidden in the spot and the justice shuts-down the attraction. Fourteen years later, a group of five friends and a hitchhiker decides to visit the amusement park that is offering free lodging in its reopening. Meanwhile, the psychopath escapes from the asylum and while the group is inside the Dark Ride, they are chased and killed by the murderer.The slasher "Dark Ride" is a boring collection of clichés. Whatever the viewer may expect in a B-movie of the genre, he or she will find in this flick: bad acting, poor screenplay and budget, breasts, screams, the victims splitting from the group and killed one by one, "unexpected" twist etc. In the end, watching this flick is a pure waste of time. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Trem Fantasma" ("Ghost Train")

tawdry_hepburn A "Dark Ride" is fairly similar to a horror film. It has facades meant to draw you into a fictitious world where creeps and spooks will jump out and say "boo!" Unfortunately, a "Dark Ride" is exactly the same as a bad horror movie. Cheap sets, too much smoke in a pathetic attempt to create atmosphere and no real cognitive pay off to the slight story lines devised.There isn't much good about the movie "Dark Ride." Everything in it is spare parts, which is a shame because it feels like the director, Craig Singer, and his writing partner Robert Dean Klein had something more in mind. The concept of a horror movie set inside of a semblance of a horror movie is an intriguing one. It is just totally wasted here.The cast is full of unlikable people. From the film geek who seems to have never seen a movie that wasn't directed by Cimino, to the horny guy with a van, everyone is stock and boring. I fell asleep trying to watch this movie, twice. The plot makes no sense and the final twist is the worst I have ever seen, bar none.The only bright spot is Andrea Bogart who is talented and incredibly beautiful. Whenever she was on screen, the movie came alive a bit. Unfortunately, her endearing stoner hitchhiker leaves the picture early and spends most of her brief screen time out of frame, pleasuring another cast member in an awfully staged oral sex scene that goes, intermittently for 20 minutes.The kills are lame. The cast is substandard. The cinematography is lazy and the colors are bland. The killer looks sort of cool, but his back story was too bizarre to make any sense. If you think about anything in this film for 5 minutes, it all falls apart. Don't waste your time.
