Mark Wilmot This film, as it's voters' rating would indicate is not a very good film. Story aside, the editing, lighting, sound, direction, etc... all could have used a lot more work. Though, for a low budget most of it is understandable, and expected. However, I really believe this film would have been much more suited to a short film. It could have been trimmed down relatively easily to 10min, especially since they re-used like 5 shots in the film it seems they were reaching for their time anyway. The film meanders and drags and forces the viewer to 'driven' (haha) to boredom. It would have been a much more effective film as a film festival short. Anyway, on the good hand, this film can show future aspiring filmmakers what not to do, and that's always something Cheers

lost-in-limbo Greg is a fashion photographer who's having an affair with an Japanese model and when his wife confronts him about it. Thinking that she knew nothing of it. They get into a tussle and her head accidentally hits the ground, incidentally killing her. He dumps the body in the car drunk and heads to Black Lake to hopefully dump the body, but his nocturnal journey there, turns into one nightmarish ride.Wow this Indie flick does seem to cop a real slapping?! Sure it's kinda derivative of a 2003 independent horror feature (you might call it a poorer man's version of it) and shares plenty in common with its modern Asian horror counterparts. Since it's directed by Junichi Suzuki and he co-wrote it with Koji Steven Sakai. But c'mon, it's not one of the worst. Okay it's far from good, but honestly there are more awful low-end horror flicks out there and really I found this to be quite watchable, strangely enough."Death Ride" is a creaky story that likes to play around with the disorientating nature of blurring the line between reality and imagination. It's not that successful in doing so and the repetitive actions and images can start to irritate. While it rapidly gets right into it, most of the premise involves around the protagonist's driving his car to a destination that we feel we'll never get to. Then to spice up the trip we get to listen to the radio and just watch him go slowly off the boil. A sense that it doesn't seem to go anywhere, digs itself right into the material and the execution can come across as lightweight. It's all about the oddly creepy occurrences with such little structure coming from its paper thin plot and contrived build ups. Within the narrative are meandering flashbacks, but anyhow they are essential to what's going on. The hint-laced script is rather tight because they kept the dialogues fairly sparse and keeps things pretty serious with a few dabs of pitch black humour. Moody camera-work along with an effectively shuddery music score helps build an quietly dreary atmosphere from it's eerily lifeless highway settings. Suzuki directs in an exhaustingly edgy style and works in some neatly weird visuals and few moments of tension (which don't involve strangeness), but also he does his fair share of poor attempts of chills and unnecessarily pads it out. Rand Gamble's performance as Greg is credibly good and rest of the cast are sub-par. Although, Hinano Yoshikawa is rather stilted with her dialogue and wooden in her turn as the model Greg's seeing.I wouldn't recommend it, but I found it to be an admirable effort that knew what it wanted to achieve. Expect very little and you might find something worthwhile with it. However I'm one of a few who didn't find it to be "extremely" awful. Can you take the chance?

tek8738 i give this movie a one only because you can't put zeros or halves if i could i would sue the writer, director, actors, and everyone else involved in this film's production for the time in my life this movie took away. I could (and am working on)write much better and I can act much better than them too. I have nothing against low budget movies but this movie isn't low budged, it's nonexistent budget. No blood, no gore, no plot, no meaningful dialouge, no acting that doesn't suck more than anything i've ever seen (and i've seen some really bad acting), no climax, no anything at all which makes a movie bearable.I would've stopped watching it by halfway through but I thought it might improve by the end, it didn't and it sucked throughThis is truly a horror movie...but not in a good way, the horror is in the fact that it was actually made and you are watching it

Jimbo This is possibly the worst movies of all time. I've seen some bad movies, and this one is a killer. Every film school in the world should make their students watch this movie as a perfect example of how you should not make a movie! How anyone could make a movie this bad I honestly don't know. When a studio is in production, how could they actually let this one through the screening process? Couldn't they see how bad it was? Bad and almost non-existent story line and terrible acting on almost everyones part. I've given this a one out of ten, but thats only because the rating system provides that as the lowest possible rating. I think IMDb should change their rating system to go between -10 and 10, the zero mark being the just barely watchable rating. If that were the case this would probably get a rating of around -8, as its a complete waste of time, and it actually hurt my brain to continue watching this at around the 20 minute mark.
