Review of Dark Ride

Dark Ride (2006)
8/10
Too slapstick to be true horror, but still a great ride
13 January 2007
Dark Ride looked like it would be a good one, but don't expect dark, creepy horror when you go see it. There are too many hilarious moments for it to be anything other than yet another movie in the horror-comedy genre, although the execution was right on, which ultimately made it not only tolerable but enjoyable for me, usually a straight-horror type of girl.

Ms. Bogart completely stole the show, in my opinion, as the happening hitchhiker who is about the wackiest, funnest character I've ever seen in a movie of ANY genre, period. She should really look into getting herself more comedic roles, since it seems like she was born to be a comedy star! What great talent and excellent delivery! Her monologue when her character was first introduced in the plot had me in stitches. I was afraid somebody in the theater would throw their popcorn or soda on me, since I couldn't stop laughing even after she had finished that first passage.

Great entertainment, and a refreshing addition to the amazing "2006 Horrorfest - 8 Movies 2 Die 4" event! Watch out for the DVD releases of all the entries, and be sure to purchase them before they're all gone! You won't be sorry AND you'll be supporting R-RATED AND UNRATED HORROR MOVIES. HIP-HIP-HURRAH!
