As if paying total strangers to take rides in their cars wasn’t stressful enough, now come Brian Visciglia’s horror film that uses ride-sharing as its high-concept premise. Depicting the brutal activities of a serial killer after he assumes a driver’s identity and proceeds to murder his passengers, Ryde will make you think twice before tapping an app the next time you need to get somewhere.

A hip, new ride share service app called Ryde is taking over and dominating the taxi industry. It's less expensive and capturing followers with it's fun and casual "friend giving you a ride" vibe.
