[edit] Synopsis

A decade has nearly passed since psychopath Jonah brutally murdered two teenage girls. Now, after almost 10 years of being incarcerated in a mental institute, Jonah has somehow escaped and has returned to his turf - an amusement park attraction named "Dark Ride". Unknowingly, a group of six friends, Cathy (Jamie-Lynn DiScala), Bill (Patrick Renna), Steve (David Clayton Rogers), Liz (Jennifer Tisdale), Jim (Alex Solowitz), and with Jen (Andrea Bogart) as a tag-along, are on their way to a road trip and have just boarded the ride, unaware of the deadly plans Jonah has for them.

At the end all but Cathy, Bill and Jim are killed. Cathy rams Jonah into spikes to save Jim, but the shock comes when Bill stabs Jim, who has bullied and humiliated him from before. It turns out Jonah is his older brother and only killed those who bullied his little sibling. This whole time was his chance for revenge, or "justice" as Cathy called it. Bill then gives his thanks to horrified Cathy, realizing as the police arrived that she is to blame for this as much as Bill and Jonah...
