The photographer Greg Ross (Rand Gamble) has an argument with his wife Amanda (Laura Putney) about his affair with the Japanese model Yumi (Hinano Yoshikawa) and he accidentally kills her. He decides to get rid off Amanda's body dumping it in the Black Lake. While driving in a road during the night, Greg recalls moments of his relationship with Amanda and Yumi and is haunted by their ghosts, driving him insane with a tragic conclusion.The feature "Death Ride" is a long and boring journey to insanity through the guilty complex of a character that becomes delusional, blending reality and imagination. The eerie story could be a good short, but the director used a slow pace to make the movie last 84 minutes running time; as the consequence, I found it too long and repetitive, apparently going nowhere for a long time. In addition, the accent of Hinano Yoshikawa is terrible. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "De Carona Com a Morte" ("Riding with Death")

Agreed to what alecsz99 said.The movie is the worst i have ever imagined.First time in my life that i felt like doing something really stupid by watching it from the very beginning.It's like watching a meaningless drama,with no motive. And the arrangement of the plots is very disappointing.Yet,interesting or not,is determined by individual opinion,as this is issue of subjective thing.One may like this movie,but not me.Never ever.I'll die before i can say this movie is good.Watching this movie is a mistake.But the bigger mistake is to buy the DVD of that film,unless you are very rich,so you don't know what to do with the rest of the money,then you can buy it.Although there is a slow movement and decrease in the film making industry,we should realize that the film's industry is not that desperate as it seems to be by producing such a low quality film.Last but not least, i could conclude this movie as a priceless material,even my grandmother can produce and direct the same level and quality of this movie.

Don't bother renting this. I wish I could say I hated it. I wish I could say I thought it was utter, horrible ... crap... But really... It's just... utterly forgettable.I should have known better than to rent a Lionsgate film without looking it up first, but so help me, I'm a sucker for horror. So. I rented it, brought it home. It deserves its low rating. I wasn't scared even once. I wasn't frightened, I did not empathize with the characters and I did not enjoy a moment of it. The main character is utterly unsympathetic, while both of his victims are, too. I stayed up late to watch this, hoping to see something decent. Instead, I was almost bored to sleep. It's not bad. There's no horrible, horrible acting, the lighting's well done, as is the audio. I'm not giving it 1 star because it's horrible. I'm giving it 1 star because it couldn't even creep me out a little during the most gruesome scene.

I rented this movie last night because the cover and story looked good.Thank Christ I never read all the bad reviews on here because i probably wouldn't have rented it.I will never rely on the comments on here again because i thought it was alright.It was a low budget film but not the worst one i've seen.I have seen a lot of bad ones recently but honestly liked this one and could watch it twice.Of course some parts were stupid but every movie has it's flaws.I really liked the soundtrack to this movie as well.The acting in some scenes was a bit lame but this movie was anything but boring.It was quite interesting from the moment it began.At least it was more original and not another remake.
