Joy Ride

Two brothers and a girl are on a road trip when they pull a prank on a pissed off truck driver, who in turn stalks them and makes their life a living hell. I heard a lot of bad reports about his movie, so I wasn't expecting much. And for that reason, I rather enjoyed this movie. Sure there wasn't a steady body count, but the tension and suspence was pretty constant and made up for it. I really dug the twist ending too. 3.5 out of 5.
