Not even bad in a good way

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Three young people on a road trip from Colorado to New Jersey talk to a trucker on their CB radio, then must escape when he turns out to be a psychotic killer. Joy Ride does go into familiar territory at times with it's story and has some horror cliches i won't doubt that but there's some great suspense moments, Zhan and Walker are really great and the overall film is nicely crafted it's no masterpiece but it's a well made horror film. (7.5/10)

This was pretty good. Not super original or outstanding in any way but still really effective, fun and even scary at times. The horror element is well paced and Walker and Zahn have great chemistry together so that I found myself alternating between being genuinely freaked out and laughing at some well delivered line. "This CB is like a prehistoric internet or something." "Well, just how scared am I supposed to be? Much more than usual." Sometimes these simple (premise) movies without the huge budget or tons of special effects are worth catching. Paul Walker (sigh) plays a college freshman on a summer road trip to pick up his girlfriend. Along for the ride is his smart-ass brother who uses the car's CB radio to play a cruel but harmless prank on a lonely trucker known only by the handle Rusty Nail. The gag backfires though and the siblings soon find themselves on the run from a psychotic murderer, out for revenge.The creepy dude from 'Silence Of The Lambs' (Ted Levine) is the chilling voice on the CB. His voice is unmistakable and because the viewer never gets to see his face he really added to the freaky element for me. Actually I'm not even sure if its that he was so good or I'm still traumatized from his performance in Lambs.I also enjoyed Steve Zahn, usually the comedy sidekick roles annoy me but he was really good. Leelee Sobieski is mostly eye candy here, girl needs a bra too because I could not take my eyes off her boobs and I'm not even into that kind of thing, but they were right there. 1/15/15

This is one of the films which I must have caught on television a few times but not had the chance to sit down and watch it all the way through.Unlike your usual teen horror movie, it actually has moments which are surprising and make your heart beat faster. It has a plausible storyline, not total mundane made up madness like other teen horror movies.This instills the message - don't talk to strangers! You don't know who the hell you might be dealing with.I like the actress and there were a few moments of comedy. The music helped create tension.Unlike other movies where I watch once and that's it, I would like to watch this again. It has a rather timeless quality.

This film is easy to watch and has a great straight forward story. Two boys play a trick on a creepy trucker (rusty nail) over the cab radio system. They pretend to be a girl called candy Kane... And the creepy trucker ends up coming after them. There's something really scary about a big American truck coming after a little car in the dark! The story and acting are believable. There are loads of frights and enough suspense throughout. The trucker does eventually catch up with them, and at the end of the film it looks like a happy ending and your favorite character gets to live but the trucker gets away! I see there's a sequel
