Review of Joy Ride 3 (2014) by Heather H — 15 Jul 2014
Let me start by saying I have NOT seen the previous two films and I don't care to watch them. Second, once I noticed it was directed by Declan O'Brien (director and writer of Wrong Turn franchise) I just knew it was going to be average or below average.
No offense to Declan O'Brien considering his films have been picked up by major studios but some of his films have been straight to video. Putting all that aside, I took a minute risk although the rental was free (yes good, very good) because it was crappy.
As critic Matt Donato stated: "If you like watching people being splattered against the grill of a death-dealing 18 wheeler, Joy Ride 3 is the perfect movie for you!" Not even its Blu-ray format can save this trash but what is truly remarkable is how on God's green earth 20th Century Fox Home entertainment has picked up all the Wrong Turn films and this crap for world distribution- THAT baffles me.
Seriously with so many horror films out there distributed by major studios, it clearly shows you don't need to be a Steven Spielberg to make it semi successfully in the film industry. Take my word please- next time you see the names Declan O'Brien or Eli Roth (Hostel and Hemlock Grove) on any film, it will be a blood fest full of sadistic violence.
Not recommended.
