Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

grantss Your average slasher-horror movie. That is, pretty bad...A bunch of twenty-somethings are driving to Canada to get to a (Nascar- type) race. They annoy a truck driver who then gets his revenge in rather sadistic ways...Just from that summary you'll know this movie is hardly original. The highway scenes are derivative of Duel, and just about every highway- confrontation movie since then. The latter half of the movie is pretty much just Saw (or one of its zillion sequels).So nothing new, and just more sadistic violence for the sake of it. Weak story, paint-by-numbers direction.Avoid.

MattyGibbs I enjoyed the first Joyride which was full of tension and very well done. Unfortunately as we already know the perpetrator this one does away with the tension to instead concentrate more on gore. A group of boy racers and assorted girlfriends pick on the wrong lorry to mess with and pay the price. It's all fairly predictable stuff but there are one or two good scenes i.e the opening death scene to keep you interested. At times it is extremely gory with some SAW like scenes which I'm not sure add a great deal to the movie. The acting is what you'd expect, by no means bad but not great either. Overall as long as you don't have high expectations this is an OK time filler but I doubt it's one that will live long in the memory.

Max Renn Since most horror films just to minimize risk are made on a tight budget a case can be made that since being able to watch films at home came about these films will all be successful. This is also why the most sequels are made for horror films. Cause if they make a little more money than expected, then that success is already so big that it can easily be made into a franchise. Then things changed the larger studios noticed that there is money to be made here. Obviously not as much as they are used to but it will be fine for petty cash. So they started making straight to DVD horror film sequels. They even went as far as not just using their own films as the basis but brought other studios rights too even goings so far as to having the sequel that went straight to video have nothing to do with the original. ie Wild Things 2-3 or Single White Female 2. The films paid for themselves so the practice has been kept alive. We can thank this system for this film too. Its original was the 2001 film Joy Ride with Paul Walker and Steve Zahnn. Basically it was a tight thriller that really only had one problem that despite using a well known story as its basis and transposing that to the then popular "teen world" it really couldn't come up with anything original. Being terrorized on the road is not a new idea, think back to the 86 The Hitcher, but anyway it was a watchable film. In 2008 the second part came out only on DVD and it was unfortunately a flop. It was boring and it screamed low budget and lack of ideas. And now 6 years latter with the 3rd part…. The story… Rusty Nail is back on the road again looking to punish injustice at every turn - and this time it's with a group of hotheaded street racers on their way to the Road Rally 1000 Canada. As they drive through a desolate shortcut on the way to the race, an encounter with Rusty turns sour and soon he is tracking, teasing and torturing them until the end of the road. First off surprisingly the film isn't that bad. There are a few reasons for this. First Fox allocated the necessary funds to not make it lame. Then they left the direction and the script up to someone who has proved themselves with sequels before Declan O'Brian who is known for Wrong Turn 4-5 and they weren't bad. He did a good job on them. Of course don't expect a life changer, but despite the fact that it's a part 3 it is pretty good. I mean the script is pretty basic, but it would be out of this world unreal if it wasn't. And you really can stomach the actors too. Especially Ken Kirzinger in the role of the truck driver who was Jason in Freddy vs. Jason. Oh and the film is pretty bloody, and the slasher scenes are depicted well, there's one with a hand which looks really good and one with someone getting tied to a truck. Of course the film could still be empty despite these but it ends up being nerve wracking and exciting, but this is all relative. Obviously it doesn't come close to the 1st part and even that was lukewarm but at least that had a story. Anyway all in all its exciting, bloody and if you liked the 1st one you'll probably be okay with this one too. To me it was an average film so I give it a 5/10. https://www.youtube.com/user/Videodromeblog

Baleegh Shaw The movie started with a quite a graphical scene of a young couple who tried to rob a trucker but instead become victim of insane driver. The rest of the story unfolded as anticipated, but a psychopath was able to kill three guys and one gal was quite over exaggerated. The trucker movement at the ending part of the movie was way strange then normal; as he was present at different locations which were miles apart in a rig manages to reach everywhere which was not what happens actually. The time when he was struck by the car and the moment when his truck was placed in the crusher makes me think how can he be so fast which such a bulky body. Moreover; once his truck was in the crusher and the machine claw was on his head he was shown in the truck but once the police arrived he was long gone is also not shown correctly. Once all the scenes were over he was walking alongside the road and was picked up by another trucker was quite funny. I rate this movie 5 out of 10 as majority of the scenes were shown which can be perceived before they could actually happen.
