Baltimore Sun
The potential for action never lets up; you never know what's coming around the next corner. - 80
Variety
Hot-wired, white-knuckle thriller. - 80
Salon
The kicker is that Joy Ride is funny, too. In fact, it would be a superbly frightening entertainment if not for the way Dahl fixates, disturbingly, on sadistic details. - 80
Washington Post
In noir, everybody's guilty, and that's one of the pleasures of Joy Ride. The three youngsters aren't exactly innocent. - 75
Miami Herald
Joy Ride is also surprisingly funny, thanks mostly to Zahn. - 75
Chicago Tribune
There's good pulp and bad pulp, and for most of its duration, Joy Ride is quality stuff. - 75
Boston Globe
It's a snazzy, smartly made, and even hip little scarefest. As a jump-start to Halloween, it's all you could hope for. - 75
New York Daily News
Joy Ride is plenty spooky but there's also plenty of comic relief -- mostly from the perennially goofy Zahn.
