Dark Ride is the story of a group of friends on a road trip who decide to take a detour to visit an amusement park called, fittingly enough, "Dark Ride". Of course, a murderous psychopath just happens to show up the same night (who would have guessed it?).
Dark Ride is a film that is full of clichés, presumably in some kind of homage to the '80's slasher films, but it just doesn't work for me in this one. The dialog at times is ludicrous. I didn't like any of the characters and we've seen them all before in so many other films (by different names perhaps). There were a few jump scares, a creative killing or two, and some interesting props.
Overall though, while it might be worth a watch once either on TV or at a friend's (when they've rented it), it's not one that I would generally recommend.
