Joy Ride

Joy Ride (2001)
Dir: John Dahl

Two brothers on a road trip are terrorised by a trucker after playing a prank on him.
A tense, well directed thriller that manages to flesh out a simple premise and provide some truly nerve-wracking scenes. The mysterious killer is superbly voiced by Ted Levine and there's also solid performances from the lead trio. The impressive cinematography also elevates this film above others in the genre.
