Dark Ride (2006) DVDRip
Usually I’m pretty hard on films that borrow heavily from other sources, especially when the premise is almost identical to the work that inspired them. It’s no secret that the 2006 After Dark Horrorfest selection Dark Ride bears more than a striking resemblance to Tobe Hooper’s 1981 deformed slasher opus The Funhouse. According to the gilded rulebook I keep under my bed, that’s a huge strike against any filmmaker, regardless of genre. After all, original ideas aren’t that hard to come by, contrary to what countless struggling writers may tell you. All it takes is an active imagination and some talent.
Director Craig Singer, on the other hand, has crafted a fine example of how to take a familiar concept — in this case, a gaggle of friends hanging out in a carnival after hours — and do something a little different with it. Dark Ride is certainly not the greatest slasher flick you’ll ever encounter, but it does what it does with a fair amount of style, something that simply cannot be said for most of the films which fall into that category.
