Movie, opened in many theatres on October 5, 2001 |

"'Joy Ride' is a nice, nasty little B-movie that keeps things simple and keeps things scary," writes Jay Carr in the Boston Globe. ". . . it's a snazzy, smartly made, and even hip little scarefest. As a jump-start to Halloween, it's all you could hope for." |
"In 'Joy Ride,' the only thing to care about is when it will end," writes John Black in a negative review in the Boston Metro. |
"[M]uch more effectively terrifying than the usual overplotted, underwritten Hollywood thriller" and "surprisingly funny," writes A. O. Scott in the New York Times. |
The Christian Science Monitor gave Joy Ride two stars, "Fair." "A stylish but ultimately cheap thrill, 'Joy Ride' is a skillful production in the service of nothing better than your average teen fright-flick experience." |
Joy Ride was released on DVD on March 20, 2000. It can be ordered from amazon.com. And from amazon.ca. |
The DVD comes with four alternative endings, reports an article at miaminewtimes.com about producer Chris Moore. |
