DVD Town
With a director that has delivered poorly and a pretty, but unknown lead, the only reason to watch "Joy Ride 2 Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead" is marketed as an ´unrated´ release on DVD and I´m thinking that those in charge of reviewing these films and placing a rating on a film are happy they didn´t have to sit through this film. ...

I didn't care much for the original movie, so I wasn't really excited about Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead. That said, it's a mechanical movie without a single new thing to offer the genre, but like your 1000th McDonald's hamburger, in the right mood it might just do the trick. ... Full Review

Joy Ride," a sly and scary thriller-chiller, is the latest from John Dahl, maestro of neo-noir, and it is terrific escapist fare, stylish, outrageous and compelling. ... Full Review

The Movie Boy
brightly colored neon lights, "Joy Ride" is a marvelously executed fright film....With unsettlingly atmospheric cinematography by Jeff Jur (2000's "Panic") that casts the characters and their dire surroundings with shadows....Director Dahl, along with sharp editing and a stirring music score by Marco Beltrami (2000's " Scream 3 "), successfully ratchets up so much genuine tension...." Jeepers Creepers ," offers up more horrific and effective moments than the genre usually has to offer.....as always, deliver ... Full Review
