Dark Ride is a 2006 horror film that takes place in an amusement park. It stars Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Patrick Renna, and David Clayton Rogers. The film begins with a group of college students traveling to an amusement park for spring break. They decide to take a detour and check out a newly reopened attraction called the "Dark Ride." The ride was originally shut down due to a horrific murder that occurred inside many years ago. The group of friends thought it would be fun to check it out and see what all the hype was about.
Once inside the ride, they quickly realize that they are not alone, and soon find themselves being stalked and hunted by a psychopath. The killer is revealed to be a deranged man who was kept in solitary confinement for over a decade until he finally escaped. He begins to pick off the group members one by one in gruesome and sadistic ways.
The film plays out like many classic slasher films with the killer relentlessly pursuing his prey through the dark corridors of the abandoned amusement park. The group of friends must use their wits and work together to survive the night and escape the clutches of the deranged killer.
The acting in Dark Ride is decent, with standout performances from Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Patrick Renna. The characters are all fairly generic and don't offer much depth, but they are relatable and likable enough to care about their fates.
The cinematography is well done, with some creative shots and interesting angles that add to the tension and atmosphere of the film. The use of lighting is also effective in creating a creepy and eerie feeling throughout the movie.
The special effects and gore are top-notch, with some very impressive and brutal kill scenes. The film doesn't shy away from showing graphic violence and gore, which may be off-putting for some viewers but adds an extra layer of intensity to the film for horror fans.
Overall, Dark Ride is a solid horror film that offers all the classic elements of the genre. While it may not break any new ground or be particularly groundbreaking, it's a fun and entertaining ride for horror fans looking for a good scare.
Dark Ride is a 2006 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.6.
