movie start out in 1989 new jersey . two twin girl be murder in a carnival ride call dark ride a trip through various horror scene . the killer be catch and sentence to life imprisonment and the ride be close down . almost 20 year later a bunch of college kid decide ( for no good reason ) to break into the closed ride one night . and ( wouldn not you know it . ) the killer break out of his institution he in . three guess where he go . this movie be positively insulting to any horror movie fan . the plot have be do to death and all the character be by the number there the hot guy ( steve ) and the stoner ( jim ) and the movie quote nerd ( bill ) and the hot blonde ( liz ) and the hot brainy brunette ( cathy ) . they also pick up a blonde hitchhiker ( jen ) who and for no reason other than to pad the running time and give out a looonnngggg stupid monologue . once these idiot get into the ride it just turn into a formula yawn induce mess with the killer stalking and kill them . also there be these long sequence with these moron stumble through the ride . theyre not need they just eat up time . really this be do to death in the 1980s . do we need a rehash of it . there also a pointless nude scene which be so obviously and stupidly shove in that i felt sorry for the actress . the gore scene have plenty of blood but be incredibly fake . act varies . david rogers be terrible a steve and alex solovitz a jim wasn not much good ( although he do try rogers doesn not ) . renna be just ok a bill and andrea bogart be way over the top a jen . her constant screaming and over act get on my nerve fast . the only good acting be by jamie lynn discala a cathy . there be also a very good score and some cute directorial touch . but all in all this be a slow and boring horror film that you have see hundred of time before only good . i fast forward through a good portion of this . skip it .
