Bella Thorne is an actress who gets mentioned quite frequently here on Arrow in the Head, due to the number of horror and thriller projects she signs on to star in. A couple months ago, we heard that RLJE Films and Urban Movie Channel had acquired the North American distribution rights to one of those projects, RIDE. Now a trailer has been released for RIDE, giving us a look at the unpleasant ordeal Thorne will be enduring this time.
Also starring Jessie T. Usher and Will Brill, the film has the following synopsis:
A struggling actor by day, James (Usher) pays his bills by driving people around Los Angeles for a ride sharing service. His night starts out like any other, but he can’t believe his luck when he picks up the beautiful Jessica (Thorne), and they immediately hit it off. His next fare, the fast-talking Bruno (Brill), convinces James to go back and invite her to join them for a wild night out. But things take a shocking turn when Bruno, armed with a gun and a twisted idea of fun, forces them on a terrifying, white-knuckle ride that quickly spirals out of control.
RIDE marks the feature debut of writer/director Jeremy Ungar, and it looks to me like it could be an entertaining thriller.
Set to premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival later this month, RIDE will be getting a VOD and limited theatrical release on October 5th.
