Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead (2008)
Only watched it for Rusty
I have to admit, the only real reason I wanted to watch this movie was to hear what Rusty could come up with next. I liked the original a lot, and figured they can't do anything worse than, oh, say, Hell Asylum? After popping it in, I was greeted by a nice, gory, self-explanatory opening scene; a rare sight in today's horror films. However, before realizing his intentions, I thought the new Rusty would be more perverted; lucky, he quickly dismissed this hunch.
During the body of the movie, I was happy to see some new twists from Rusty; i.e., claiming that the middle finger one of the characters stuck up to him was now 'his property.' He made me laugh in that I'm-glad-I'm-not-her way.
Sadly, the movie doesn't really surprise if you've seen the original. You already know how Rusty is, so his cruel threats and demands don't seem as terrible as they could be.
Overall, it was a pretty good movie with some A- moments. A fun watch if you're in the mood for some unsympathetic chuckles.
