if horror film be grade on a curve and categorize into five year interval and then i would say dark ride be average in comparison to what we have be get out of hollywood . far from great and it still keep my interest and i make it to the end . much of the credit and i must admit and go to the choice of female cast member . jamie lynn discala be so easy on the eye that her obnoxious character she play be tolerable . although not to quite the same level and the same could also be say of andrea bogart and jennifer tisdale . of course and this be hardly a legitimate reason to score a lousy film high then it deserve and but it doesn not hurt . the film start off intrigue enough and be pretty direct a to what you can expect as far a the film gore factor . for me and too much gore do a a failed horror make . this film border on give me a break but do not cross the line . also and the fiend be sinister enough and and there be great use of various dark ride prop and especially the mask . there be a pretty decent story to work with here and but unfortunately it seem that either there be a small and mismanaged budget and or or the direction of the film be place in the wrong hand . you could see the end come almost from the beginning and and that be a let down . it be one of those deal where you say to yourself and surely theyre not go to do this but down deep you know they be . theyre go to go for the cheesy and cliché attempt at irony . it be almost insulting . just the same and discala character reaction to the truth of her situation at the end do have a bit of a spooky ambiguity to it . my advice represent if you want to see this film and wait till it release on dvd and take off the new release wall .
