As they drive through a desolate shortcut on the way to the race, an encounter with Rusty turns sour and soon he is tracking, teasing and torturing them until the end of the road.

Joy Ride 3: Road Kill Movie Reviews

Creative ways to kill people using a … Truck!

Based on no less than 3 sequels in the “Wrong Turn” franchise, 1 sequel in the “Joyride” franchise and 1 bizarre creature-feature experiment called “Sharktopus”, I think it’s safe to assume that director Declan O’Brien will probably never win any Academy Awards, but you can definitely rest assured that his films deliver lots of deranged monsters/psychopaths, nauseating gore effects and excruciatingly painful on-screen death sequences! And, as I’m sure many horror genre fanatics will agree with me, sometimes those are exactly all the things you require in order to have a good time! Last weekend, I attempted to start watching no less than three other (more ambitious and classier) thrillers, but I was too tired and kept falling asleep. I had almost given up my desire to watch something, but then “Joyride 3” started on television. This movie didn’t have any problems whatsoever to keep me awake and entertained, and sometimes that’s simply the best possible compliment you can write about a horror movie!

The plot of “Joyride 3: Road Kill” – hardly an imaginative subtitle, by the way – is a non-stop spitfire of the most derivative and overused horror clichés. You know, there’s even a variation on the good old-fashioned, mad-raving local who tries to warn the dumb kids not to take Highway 17! That scene certainly brought back a lot of fond 80s slasher memories! Every single one of the main and supportive characters are walking & talking stereotypes and the chronological order in which they are most likely to get slaughtered is easy to foretell from the moment they open their mouths. There isn’t any tension building whatsoever, lots of stuff doesn’t make any sense and there are numerous errors in continuity (unless you’re willing to believe that giant cumbersome 18-wheel truck travels quicker than a race car). But the most crucial question to ask here is: does it all matter? No, absolutely positively not!

The simple truth is that “Joyride 3” is about a psycho-trucker who goes after a bunch of amateur street racers because they nearly drove him off the road. Well, in all likelihood he was going to go after them even if they didn’t drove him off the road. While the group falls apart, our trucker – Rusty Nail – cheerfully massacres them one by one. The cool thing is that he uses his truck or assets the truck as murder weapon, so naturally it gets very messy! If you’re a true gorehound, there are some marvelous rewind-sequences here. I like your movies, Mr. Declan O’Brien. That “Sharktopus” thing is an insult to the intellect to every living creature, but the “Wrong Turn” sequels are fun and so is “Joyride 3”.

WE’LL KNOW MORE ONCE WE GET ALL THE PARTS

The film opens with a five star horror scene with sex, f-bombs, and nudity (Sara Mitch). We discover how much better sex is smoking a glass pipe.. when you have enough. And then road kill. After the credits we get into the main plot as a group of young adults head up to Canada to race their car. They take the infamous Rt. 17 and hit a Rusty Nail (Ken Kirzinger) along the way.

The restaurant scene was great with Barry (David Ferry) spouting off his conspiracy theories about Rt. 17 and the waitress (Heather Hueging). After they hit the road and get to the meat of the film, the character dialogue dies and the film degrades into a middle of the road slasher film.

The film under utilized Kirsten Prout who I would have loved in that opening scene. She has that Taylor Swift/ Anne Kendrick/Marsha Brady appeal and could have at least showered once.

Saw this

You’ve seen this before. Actually you probably saw it before … “Saw”. This could be considered Saw light or at least a mixture of “Duel” and “Saw”. Not sure Steven Spielberg would totally approve, but this is what you get. And listening to the audio commentary, I am surprised how much effort was put into the movie.

You might not really care (which makes sense at this point of the “franchise”), but the director has some knowledge and he is making an effort. Still story-wise we don’t get anything new, but the effects are good and you might wonder what is going to happen next. The beginning with the “couple” is really great (visually and tone-wise), but the movie loses some of its drive along the way. You just won’t care anymore. The ending is not really a surprise either …
