The potential for action never lets up; you never know what's coming around the next corner.

Hot-wired, white-knuckle thriller.

The kicker is that Joy Ride is funny, too. In fact, it would be a superbly frightening entertainment if not for the way Dahl fixates, disturbingly, on sadistic details.

In noir, everybody's guilty, and that's one of the pleasures of Joy Ride. The three youngsters aren't exactly innocent.

Joy Ride is also surprisingly funny, thanks mostly to Zahn.

There's good pulp and bad pulp, and for most of its duration, Joy Ride is quality stuff.

It's a snazzy, smartly made, and even hip little scarefest. As a jump-start to Halloween, it's all you could hope for.

Joy Ride is plenty spooky but there's also plenty of comic relief -- mostly from the perennially goofy Zahn.

Manages to be both astoundingly derivative and reasonably entertaining at the same time.

Despite its few flaws, Joy Ride does take viewers on one hell of a ride. It's one of those rare films that manages to take an overused plot and breathe some sort of creativity into it.
