i liked this movie i think its one of the best films from afterdark and i was actually scared watching this movie. it was great and nice to see the catcher form the sandlot in it lol
My favorite AfterDark horror film to date and the first one I watched. This is such a good slasher flick. Ya the acting is amazing but the killer is cool and it takes place in a haunted attraction. Very awesome film.

Aside from the decapelatio bit and a fright here and there, Dark Ride has very little to show for it.

it was one of those movies that fallowed Halloween in some sense where a maniac escaped mental clinic then returned to where the story began. I thought it failed by giving the same old thing seen time and time again...I hear theres suppost to be a sequal. Totally not good.
A LOOOT of people hate this movie. I don't know why, it's not that bad. It's got some scary parts, good gore, and I thought it was a pretty fun movie. Don't care about ya'll , I loved it. It's not the best, but I loved it.
i was extremely disappointed with this film. out of all the films in the first after dark horror fest, this was the one i was really looking forward. it's completely boring, it's mostly the characters just sitting around talking. there was really only one cool death, and the rest were boring. the acting was alright, but not good enough to save this film. such as shame too, because the killer was awesome and so was his mask, but not cool enough to save this film.
Not the worst horror movie I've seen by far but nothing really makes it stand out. The killer was cool and, at time, genuinely creepy but the kids were all annoying and the twist was lame and didn't really have any impact on the outcome of the film.
This was actually pretty enjoyable to me, it was very predictable, I knew who the killer was within the first 20 minutes. Overall though, it was better than wicked little things, penny dreadful, and unrest. It was just a fun movie, it was like the lake dead of the first batch, but i liked lake dead more. I know, most horror fans thought lake dead was the worst out of all the horrorfest movies, but I really enjoyed it, this wasnt to good, but the concept was cool.

Wow I can't believe I spent 20.00$ on this movie. It was really boring, I expectet to see some good chase scenes, kills and scares but noo what we see is like 3 good deaths and boobs thats it.
A group of college kids on spring break find a flyer in a toilet for the grand re-opening of a small towns “Dark Ride”. They soon realise the horrors that took place there over twenty years ago. As the body count begins the screaming begins.
Dark Ride was part of the After Dark Horrorfest in 2006 so I ws expecting it to at least be watchable. It was predictable in the end as at leats an hour before the end we figured who the killer was. It made me so bored just sitting there doing nothing wathcing this film.
The acting was not performed to the standard of what a horror film needs to be performed because acting sheer terror would be hard to do and this cast wasn’t assembled well. When purchasing this DVD I saw all the 2006 “horrorfest” DVD’s on the shelf and the cover just drew me. Turn to the back of the DVD and it looked by far the best one. I was wrong.
The plot was something that could have been great but with twists and turns I saw coming it didn’t live up to my expectations. It wasn’t exactly original as i felt that some scenes i’d seen before.
Overall Dark Ride is predictable but will scare you if you don’t see scenes coming. My rating is 2.5/5 .

what did everyone expect. most of the eight films to die for suck, and this is no exception. not horrible, but tolerable. don't raise your expectations.

Very dull indeed Jonah could of been a great horror killer but he was hardly in it! The last 15mins of the film is th eonly good bit when Jonah kills the kids. The ending was supposed to be a twist but please leave the twists to saw this made the film more confusing! One good death scene a good opening which is the only reason I kept watching NEED MORE CHASING KILLING!!! Like Jason movies or Michael Myers movies not all this boring sitting down talking crap!

Was it as good as it could have been? No. But was it better than a lot of horror films that stay in theaters for a couple months, get big box office numbers, but are too awful to look at? Yes. A lot better! Even though it can get a little boring at times and since almost every character acts the same way, so it's hard to make a special connection with at least one, Dark Ride is actually very enjoyable. The gore is awesome and the film itself is deeply disturbing. Overall, the film is pretty good, and I'd rather watch it 50 times in a row than watch crap "horror" films like the Prom Night and When A Stranger Calls remakes once.

If your looking for a good carnival movie, then try tobe hooper's The Funhouse, which was more original, scary and overall just a better picture, dark ride fails in plot and acting.

I thought it was pretty dull, despite one good death and some decent acting.

If they would stop putting out all of those PG-13 remakes and start releasing horror movies like "Dark Ride" horror fans would be a lot better off. This isn't the greatest story, but then again it doesn't have to be (just different). More importantly, horror movies have to be Rated R (boobs and blood are very, very important). This is a quality 80's style horror movie, which made me enjoy it even more.
