Trivia

Although the film was not well-received in a Fangoria Magazine review, the title "Hard Ride to Hell" (which originated solely with the screenwriters) was later taken by Fangoria as the name for one their "Fangoria Eye Scream" horror-themed ice cream products during 2011's Halloween season.

Goofs

The biker with the chainsaw who first enters the church reacts to a blow and begins to fall quite early - before he is actually hit by Bob.

User Reviews

From Dusk Till Dawn meets Rosemary's Baby

This is a very solid DTV movie. In fact, it could've been a part of those Masters of Horror series had it been shorter and tighter, the atmosphere is exactly that. The pacing is fast, the stuff that's supposed to be funny is funny, and what's meant to be scary - is scary enough. Hard Ride to Hell doesn't just feel like some grindhouse movie, it feels exactly like a sequel to From Dusk Til Dawn. I wasn't bored for a minute. The presence of Miguel Ferrer adds to it, but doesn't overshadow the movie itself, which says something about the director. Look at her resume, at least by now she definitely knows how to make a movie look good.
