    Joy Ride is one of the most entertaining movies for me, and one of the few films I watch at least once a year. As far as horror goes, it’s definitely not scary or disturbing at all.. but I think it’s so well made. I love the dynamic between the brothers. It just never gets old for me.
    After seeing some scenes from Dead End, I know I saw it a long time ago but I remember almost nothing about it. I’ll have to check it out again.

      Same for me re: Joy Ride. It's so funny too, the dynamic between the bros because initially I CAN'T STAND the older brother. But then as the movie goes on and shit starts to go down, he grows on me. It's such a good flick!

    I'd add "Trapped Child", free on Tubi. This woman and her young child become stranded on the road, in the heat, with no one else around and no water, when her car breaks down. She can't get into her car because it's a 'smart car', she can't call 911 because her phone is locked in the car. The situation becomes dire and dangerous very quickly. I enjoyed this movie a lot, fast-paced and you're not bored.

  • @azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158

    The Hitcher(1986). Two words Rutger Hauer.
    Near Dark(1987) Because it's a vampire road movie, mostly hot desert sun while on the road.
    Just my two cents.

    "Duel" from 1971 (directed by Steven Spielberg) is a great road trip horror (well, maybe more terror) movie. Originally made for television, it as so successful the studio released it in theaters. And to cheat a little bit, there's an episode of "The Twilight Zone" called the "The Hitchhiker" which never fails to give me chills when I watch it.

    I'm not sure if you have, or if you can, make a list of your skip scenes. I wouldn't expect you to describe them, but possibly indicate what part of the movie it's at, or the events leading up to it. For certain types of thrillers or horrors I like to either read the plot of it ahead of time or skip scenes altogether as well.

Wolf Creek 2 is also pretty good (haven't seen the TV series, but want to) and Wolf Creek 3 (!!!) is scheduled to come out in 2023! I think that Wolf Creek is seriously underrated, the movie lets you really get to know the 3 road-trippers before all hell breaks loose!

    the plot:
    A fishing boat discovers an abandoned yacht with a strange distress call. A deckhand agrees to take lone control of it while it's towed into port, but soon he discovers why it is called it a "Ghost Ship."

    I love wind chill so much. If you're a gamer and love Silent Hill, I think you will love it.

    Also if you like horror films that take place in the winter/cold the Norwegian "Cold Prey" series is really great. The first Cold Prey from 2006 is probably the best, but they are all really good brutal fun, and should be seen by more people.

    One movie I was hoping to see on this list was Jeepers Creepers.

    Dead End!!! Love that movie. That's the first one I thought of when I saw the title to this video. I don't really see it talked about much so I wasn't sure you'd include it so when you did I was like YESSS lol. I think I know the scene you mean and it freaks me out too. Overall such a fun movie though

    I agree with you on Strangers: Prey at Night. I watched it for the first time a few days ago and I enjoyed it more than the original probably because there was more action 😄
