Rusty Nails Rises again!
Added 9/30/2009

I actually found this little flick entertaining. Maybe it was because of blonde bombshell Nicki Aycox (from Jeepers Creepers 2) who turned in a sexy performance as the main heroine. She promises Rusty Nails "I'll do whatever you want" and it becomes a sick, twisted game. I saw the first Joy Ride flick starring Paul Walker and found it amusing, but more of a suspense thriller. This time around the villain Rusty Nails is much more sadistic it seems.

Of course as the movie goes on you kinda ask yourself "why would Rusty Nails do all this for the reason he is?" But one of my real gripes is about how the main male characters were portrayed. They started out as jokesters who were all badass, then as the movie goes on you see they are wimps. Maybe they were made to look like quivering wussies so Rusty Nails would look more powerful, but the one guy (Nick Zano) was like a built football player and didn't try much in the way of escaping. The other guy was supposed to be a rebel but turned into a shivering coward later on.

The dice game torture was pretty sick, almost like the producers were trying to copycat Texas Chainsaw Massacre a bit. I'm hoping for a third installment in this series, and seeing as Saw has now reached part 6 I don't see why we can't get Joy Ride 3. It'd be cool to find out more about the origins of Rusty Nails, but then again maybe he's just a trucker who lost his mind. I won't spoil the end of Joy Ride 2, but we know how horror movies tend to work with their villains.

All in all though, if you enjoy horror movies with a bit of gore, some hot chicks and a decent plot give this movie a rent.

The reason I liked this movie
Added 7/14/2009

I'm giving this movie 4 stars. The torture scenes were well done. I liked the idea of the victims deciding each others fate. While not all kills were original, it kept in line with Rusty's menacing acts. Which was a good thing to see remain from the original.

The plot is decent enough to make you wonder, and in usual fashion you have the people you want to see survive, and then end up toast. How does it all work out? Watch and find out. I was pleasantly pleased with this one because Rusty is actually in pretty good shape for a trucker, but not so over the top that it is unrealistic.

Also Rusty toys with his victims. It wasn't that he was making them promises he was just toying with them before "the final nail" was placed. I won't spoil anything like some of the other reviewers do because I let other people judge for themselves when it comes to sequels. Especially direct to DVD ones.

It's worth a look. Especially for the end and keeping with tradition. In the original you never get a look at Rusty. The movie leads you on to believe that you do, but at the end it completely fools you.

I rate it a ZERO
Added 5/9/2009

Joy Ride was a good scary movie where no one got killed (except the man in the ice truck), the boys played a prank on Rusty Nail so he messed with them, okay fine, and we know he lived at the end. Part 2 the kids just borrowed the car no big deal, so Rusty Nail tortures them like the movie SAW. I didn't want to give it a poor rating because I don't like torture movies, but he lived at the end??? There's no way! This movie deserves a zero. He even killed a few people which was not what the first one was about. I had to fast forward when these boys were in the garage because whoever thinks up this stuff needs help.
