Ryde

Wow I thought I can trust IMDb ranks for picking the good movie to watch, clearly I was wrong. This is absolutely worthless movie like those old movies on Netflix - totally banal unoriginal story, no thinking involved, cheap acting. The real rank should be 3 out of 10. If IMDb allows it everyone who wasted their time on watching this should report on this case of obvious rank faking.

Let me save you 84 agonising minutes of bad acting, ridiculous scenarios and one of the worst film endings ever. I watched it based on the score it had and the user reviews however, having just wasted those precious minutes of my life I will urge you not to do the same! There really needs to be a minus scoring system on IMDb as somehow there aren't always the words to describe how dire some films are. This would be a prime candidate for the best minus score picture of the year.

I came across this one on a horror site so by reading that it's all about a serial killer I wanted to see it immediately. Now that I have taken the ride i do have something to say about Ryde.

Let me start with the good things. The cinematography is excellent especially while the cab is driving throughout downtown LA. The acting was just above mediocre and the flick do contains it all to become a horror, all about a killer in a cab by calling the app Ryde this delivers on nudity (full frontal) and some murders. Sadly, and that's the thing I didn't like, the killings are rather low on gore or red stuff. Okay, I know, heads are being smashed but it's done twice on the same way. And it's always shown so the gore doesn't come in.

On the other hand, it shows that this is a low budget flick but it works out fine because with the driving you start to know the passengers. To make it complete there are a few scene's that you just didn't see coming. The ending on the other hand was so predictable that it's easy to guess what is going to happen.

Does it fit into the horror genre, well, it's to low on the scary or creepy part to call it a horror but viewers can be offended by the abuse of women, the nudity and the particular smashing of heads. So here we have it, it can be a hard ride for people used to watch thrillers but for horror buffs the ride will be to smoothly.

Gore 1/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

My wife and I are huge horror fans and will watch even very low budget ones and justify it because of our love for the Genre. But my my is this awful, all I can say with the high score the cast and crew must have a huge group of family and friends ! The acting is very very average , there are only Beautiful people in it and the story line is not original in the slightest. One thing I will say is it is violent and it's well shot fir the low budget. As for the ending it was like they hadn't a clue how to end it and you can see it a mile away Take our advice don't waste valuable life watching this

Just about most pointless 84 minutes I've ever spent. You'd be thinking that with all the gore scenes the movie has, it will eventually have a point and make up for it. But no, it doesn't. I cannot explain how dumb this movie is. please DO NOT watch it. Please. I have watched many half-witted movies but this is the only one that has made me so mad about how stupid it is, that i had to make account on IMDb with only one purpose, to give this abomination a negative review.
