Ryde

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.

Gore 1/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

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.

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.

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.

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.
