Riding the Bullet Reviews

A very sub-par series of clunky ideas about mortality, none of which amount to a decent horror film.

| Nov 1, 2014

Riding the Bullet is a film that will likely appeal to more non-horror fans...

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 23, 2006

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

...wholly ineffective...

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 25, 2005

As obras de Stephen King já renderam alguns ótimos filmes, mas também muitos péssimos. Infelizmente, Riding the Bullet se encaixa nesta última categoria.

Imagine a feature-length version of the "Large Marge" sequence from Pee-wee's Big Adventure and you won't be too far off, only that was scarier.

| Feb 3, 2005

A ponderous, incoherent horror mishmash that turns King's short story into utter nonsense.

Full Review | Oct 21, 2004

The movie is so glum and flat-footed there's no reason to care.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 20, 2004

Both the anticipation factor and writer-director Mick Garris' slick adaptation fail to live up to the old hype.

Full Review | Oct 19, 2004

An incoherent melange of horror movie gimmicks that's genuinely laughable when it strives for profundity. It induces more tedium than terror.

| Original Score: D- | Oct 15, 2004

There are lots of cheap scares and mind games that detract from the main attraction: the interesting family drama.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 15, 2004

Overall it doesn't amount to much more than a goofy campfire tale.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 15, 2004

Goes beyond simply being a bad movie, to the point where it becomes one that insults your intelligence.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 15, 2004

Yet another reason to think twice before thumbing a ride, kids.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 15, 2004

As good as any Stephen King movie. Not the profound classics ... and not the classy thrillers... but certainly on par with any effective supernatural tale.

A better name for the film would be Taking the Bullet, because that's what sitting through this dopey, pretentious mess feels like.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 14, 2004

It's a navel-gazing meditation on death smothered under excess and ham-handed direction, better suited for late-night cable.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 14, 2004

The ending of which, both on the page and, now, on the screen, lands with an overly elegiac thud. Still, the journey is often fine.

| Oct 14, 2004

A barely coherent fever dream of automotive anxiety.

Full Review | Oct 14, 2004

A fairly middle of the road fright film that treads dangerously close to being silly.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2004
