Dark Ride (2006)

Abandoned amusement parks, meddling teens, and mad slashers have made a winning B-horror combo since the earliest days of drive-in skinema. Dark Ride hails from that rich tradition, chronicling the misadventures of six youthful friends who interrupt their road trip to spend the night in a shuttered fun-land, specifically crashing in a rickety structure labeled, in keeping with the movie's title, "Dark Ride." The naïve sextet, of course, is in for the ride of their soon-to-be-suddenly-cut-short lives, as a homicidal no-goodnik with equal penchants for carnival kitsch and screaming teenage carnage is on their tails. Andrea Bogart’s naked chest Humphreys provide some welcome light, but otherwise Dark Ride is an exhilarating roller-coaster plunge into howling horror.
