We’re On Our Way to Die, Want a Ride?

Title:  Dark Ride
Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away:  This movie stars Mickey from ”2Gether”, the little brother from Son In Law all grown up and the older sister of the girl who voices Candice on “Phineas and Ferb”.   Yes, this does sound like the trailer I saw for Fanboys.
Introduction: (such as where/how this DVD was obtained, how much it cost, etc)
Location:
Plot:  This movie originally starts with three guys and two girls, but they very quickly even it out as they pick up a lone hitchhiking female.   Yes, yes, yes, that breaks all sorts of rules in horror movies, but hey, they were already headed to New Jersey, so why not?
                This group of fun loving pot-smoking kids is on their way to who cares where when along the way they decide to stop at a dark ride which is shut down.   Breaking the law, they enter anyway and expect that they won’t be brutally murdered.   One by one, they start getting picked off, and it only makes me happy when each of them dies.
Acting:   It’s pretty bad.
Production:  It could have been in theaters, but a lot of it is pretty dark (no pun intended).
Sex/Nudity:  There is a bunch, but in one scene, the girl is giving one of the guys “oral pleasure” when her head is chopped off (He doesn’t notice because he’s an idiot)  When the guy tries to bring up the girl’s face to kiss her, after he climaxes, her head becomes removed from her body and he starts screaming like a little girl.   IT’S HILARIOUS.
Special Effects:  See above.
Overall Verdict:   This is a nice movie to watch once or every so often if the mood fits, but it’s not really anywhere near a cult classic or must-see level.  If you have intentions of seeing every movie in the 8 Films to Die For series (as I do), then you won’t be disappointed in this one.   However, it’s not something that you really need to go out of your way to see.
