I came across this one on a horror site so by reading that it's all about a serial killer I wanted to see it immediately. Now that I have taken the ride i do have something to say about Ryde.
Let me start with the good things. The cinematography is excellent especially while the cab is driving throughout downtown LA. The acting was just above mediocre and the flick do contains it all to become a horror, all about a killer in a cab by calling the app Ryde this delivers on nudity (full frontal) and some murders. Sadly, and that's the thing I didn't like, the killings are rather low on gore or red stuff. Okay, I know, heads are being smashed but it's done twice on the same way. And it's always shown so the gore doesn't come in.
On the other hand, it shows that this is a low budget flick but it works out fine because with the driving you start to know the passengers. To make it complete there are a few scene's that you just didn't see coming. The ending on the other hand was so predictable that it's easy to guess what is going to happen.
Does it fit into the horror genre, well, it's to low on the scary or creepy part to call it a horror but viewers can be offended by the abuse of women, the nudity and the particular smashing of heads. So here we have it, it can be a hard ride for people used to watch thrillers but for horror buffs the ride will be to smoothly.

I'll be generous and give it a 4 for having some okay ideas and it wasn't terribly shot (most of the film anyway). The acting however, was some of the worst I've seen in a while and that made it tough to watch. The ratings and some of the reviews for this film are definitely fake. I wouldn't waste your time on this one.

Let me save you 84 agonising minutes of bad acting, ridiculous scenarios and one of the worst film endings ever. I watched it based on the score it had and the user reviews however, having just wasted those precious minutes of my life I will urge you not to do the same! There really needs to be a minus scoring system on IMDb as somehow there aren't always the words to describe how dire some films are. This would be a prime candidate for the best minus score picture of the year.

Firstly I would like to say that IMDb should really review these ratings in order to keep its reputation in order, because I will tell you what...
I have had the work to get the movie, buy stuff to nibble and drink whilst watching a 6.8 rating movie. I swear that by the first quarter of the movie I thought I was watching the wrong movie. I am sure that even my classmates from University could do a better movie than this one. No plot, no story, no emotion, nothing... and the main character acted as badly as my son pretending he is sick when he doesn't want to go to school. Literally, a total mess. If you are to watch this movie, I advise you to go onto Youtube and find a documentary about cab driver serial killers and I bet you will enjoy way more than this worthless piece of amateur filming.
I hope I saved your time.

Wow I thought I can trust IMDb ranks for picking the good movie to watch, clearly I was wrong. This is absolutely worthless movie like those old movies on Netflix - totally banal unoriginal story, no thinking involved, cheap acting. The real rank should be 3 out of 10. If IMDb allows it everyone who wasted their time on watching this should report on this case of obvious rank faking.

Have you ever been sat in a bar, minding your own business, when along comes an extremely hot young woman who chats you up and invites you back to hers for no-strings-attached nookie? No, me neither. But that's what happens to Paul in Ryde (the film, not the seaside town on the Isle of Wight).
Similarly, have you ever been in the company of two incredibly sexy babes for just a few minutes before being invited to take part in a Jacuzzi threesome? Can't say I have, but Paul has.
Come to think of it, Paul (David Wachs) only ever seems to meet women who are in their early twenties, look like glamour models, and find him irresistible. Where are the fat, the ugly and the aged? I guess they prefer to keep their hideousness hidden behind closed doors.
Still, perhaps it's safer that way, because Paul just so happens to be a highly volatile psycho who has taken on the persona of Karl (now dead in the trunk of his car), driver for a taxi app called Ryde. Sluts, drug-users, the obnoxious: all bring out the worst in Paul (AKA Karl). Only the pure and innocent survive a Ryde in HIS car.
Although chock full of mean-spirited violence, mostly perpetrated against defenceless women, Ryde is not just a misogynistic horror film, but a warning to everyone that strangers simply cannot be trusted. Even the seemingly friendliest of people can be total whack jobs. That's what makes this film effective: anyone might be a Paul, ready to stab you in the gut, drown you in your pool, or pummel you in the face until the pulpy mess that was once your head comes right off.
6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for the slick cinematography of L.A., all the beautiful ladies (one of whom obliges us with full frontal nudity), and the nasty violence.

Just about most pointless 84 minutes I've ever spent. You'd be thinking that with all the gore scenes the movie has, it will eventually have a point and make up for it. But no, it doesn't. I cannot explain how dumb this movie is. please DO NOT watch it. Please. I have watched many half-witted movies but this is the only one that has made me so mad about how stupid it is, that i had to make account on IMDb with only one purpose, to give this abomination a negative review.

If you like bad acting, stupid scripts and fake reviews telling how good this movie is, then this one is certainly for you.
It's not even worth downloading if that is a option, waste of both bandwidth and space.
It amazes me how b-movie makers use more money on marketing and fake reviews rather than actually making a decent movie...

I went into this movie with reserved expectation, because I hadn't seen any previous work of this director and the actors were unknown to me. I was surprised by the top quality of their performance and the movie was interesting enough to make me wanting for more. The cinematography, editing, sound are all excellent significantly boosting the value of such a small budget movie. Ryde is new ride share service app on the market and the movie is about a guy with sinister intentions, who hijacked someone elses car and pretends to be a highly reputable rYder. I don't wanna give away too much, but I would gladly recommend this movie to audience.

This movie - along with its ratings and quite the sizable chunk of reviews posted here - is very obviously a sham. Seriously, scroll through the review section and you'll find that all 7 or up reviews are posted under similar or exactly the same names, and the profiles have only ever reviewed one picture (you guessed it; this one).
I wonder how the people behind this movie organized this scam. Even on YouTube trailer's comment sections, you spot very obviously fake profiles come and give their positive "take" on the movie.
The movie is utter garbage, and you know it. It is full of plot holes, - that doesn't even do it justice - this movie is the definition of plot holes. The acting jobs were repugnant; in fact, the only horror I felt while watching this god-awful hodgepodge of badly stitched-together scenes with overused scores, and otherwise horrendous cinematography, was the acting. The sound design is not even TV-worthy; it is mixed very poorly, all the sound cuts are clearly recognizable, the voice overs feel like watching a synchronized foreign movie, there are even parts of the voices missing on several occasions where you can clearly see the actors talk. Trailer and movie descriptions all over the web may give you the impression that this is a "fresh take" on horror - which could not be further from the truth. Nothing here is fresh, it's all just a bunch of clusterf*ck clichés mashed into a very poor visualization of what an "uber" horror movie would look like. I could honestly go on forever, but I won't waste any more of my time on this. Just wanted to give you a heads up - DO NOT FALL FOR THE SCAM THAT THIS MOVIE IS.

My wife and I are huge horror fans and will watch even very low budget ones and justify it because of our love for the Genre. But my my is this awful, all I can say with the high score the cast and crew must have a huge group of family and friends ! The acting is very very average , there are only Beautiful people in it and the story line is not original in the slightest. One thing I will say is it is violent and it's well shot fir the low budget. As for the ending it was like they hadn't a clue how to end it and you can see it a mile away Take our advice don't waste valuable life watching this

Like many here, you check on the ratings and see that the 7.5/10 is a handful of low ratings, then a disproportionate number of 10/10 pushing the average up. These are clearly fake, friends of the director etc., and experience tells you you're looking at a dead horse being flogged.
But this is really a decent and original thriller/shocker. Though the ingredients don't look particularly appetising (think Drive like cinematography though not quite as stylish, American Psycho style humour and violence, Scream like Hollywood beautiful people but not that beautiful, and a bit of Eli Roth, plus mostly really unlikable characters) but somehow it works.
Give it a go!

This movie is terrible. I am a fan of some pretty bad movies that a lot of people don't like and there are a lot of movies I dislike that I recognize have things people like, but this movie is neither of those. The acting is so flat, you can't even laugh at it and the script is so poorly written, even the plausible scenes feel forced. If you had no idea how any of this works, you would find the main character's actions incomprehensibly stupid and the few moments where you think "Oh, now their building some tension" become so horribly awkward in their depiction that you just want it to stop. This movie honestly looks like someone's terrible attempt at BFA final project using freshman acting students. None of the portrayals are believable in the slightest. Save your time. 4 stars for this steaming pile is generous.

As the first feature-length film directed by Brian Frank Visciglia, I have to say that 'Ryde' is a decent attempt at a horror/crime film using the the still fairly new concept of ride-sharing applications. There is a neat little plot twist at the end, and the rest of the film is entertaining enough. The only problem is that this film never manages to be great, just decent.
I was also impressed by the fact that the actor David Wachs, who plays the part of the protagonist Paul in this film, contributed to most of the music in this film.

As a huge horror genre fan, I have really enjoyed watching this little movie. It is not yet another predictable horror with lots of clichés, but an original flick that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. The story of the movie is authentic, with very effective sound effects and music. I liked its main characters which were portrayed really good from the relatively unknown actors. The direction is spot on and I can't wait to see some more work from the same director.

The movie is very sleek with nice cinematography. The acting is very natural and they act like real-life people apart from their pretty faces of course. The killings are disturbing, but not too gory. You know the killer's identity. You don't know his motivation, but you know what he's going to do: kill whoever gets in his car. There's no real mystery here and from the get-go you know who is going to survive and who is going to die. It's just a matter of how. There has been no attempt at thinking of an innovative way to survive. It's just what anyone would do in the same situation. It's like watching a pretty ordinary serial killer do his job in the dead of the night in cold blood. There are no twists and there are very few surprises. The movie is pretty straight forward. What makes this movie somewhat disturbing is that it could happen to anyone and that the way the victims are killed is simple but brutal, which makes it believable. This is a movie you're either going to love or hate. I stand somewhere in the middle, but since I was not bored, I give it an above average rating.

Awful just about sums up this piece of crap. Rating of 7.0 is what attracted me to this title in the first place and I thought OK, the cast is unknown (to me at least) but with ratings so high it can't be half bad, right? Wrong! From the very beginning this feels like a B-movie with bad acting, bad dialogue and even worse plot line. Stupid lines, bad choices the whole movie is what takes this to a whole new level of awfulness. To sum it up, people who made this movie, if you can call it that, obviously spent way more money for advertising, reviewers payment and such things than for the casting, screenwriters and directors. Not the worst movie ever, not by a long shot, but one of the worst I've seen this year. Recommendation: avoid at all cost. AWFUL.
