Hard Ride to Hell and Internet Citation an Unusual Pairing

This is a first look at Hard Ride to Hell, a Vivendi Entertainment release, and there will be some editorial writing included here regarding internet citation. Taking Hard Ride to Hell as an example, there are two approaches to covering internet material, with neither site citing their sources. On Bloody Disgusting the pictures on their site are watermarked with a banner making copying impossible, unless you want to spend a lot of time on Word's Paint. On Dread Central the pictures are downloadable through the press of a button, at the bottom of the screen. However, neither webpage cites where they found these gorrific pictures for Hard Ride to Hell. This makes further research difficult. So, what are the rules for internet citation for films i.e. Hard Ride to Hell?

Using these two website as examples, with Hard Ride to Hell as a topic, there are no rules to internet citation. However, including a source can help readers find out more info' on "obscene blood sacrifice," or "biking devil worshipers" (Dread, Bloody-Disgusting). The parenthesis here gives readers an opportunity to go to the source material to explore all the available info' on the film, actor, director etc. It also shows that one respects the original writer of the material and without citation there is no trail of crumbs to follow. Internet citation does not need to be as brutally bloody, chaotic, or lawless as the films horror websites cover. There, that is the end of this very brief lesson on internet citation; now, back to the blood of Hard Ride to Hell!

The first synopsis here is provided by both Bloody-Disgusting and Dreadcentral, with two further movie stills inside. There is lots going on in thiese two pictures including nude female vampires, chainsaw crazed protagonists and, of course, demon bikers.

Continues...

"A lonely stretch of Texas desert highway leads a group of campers on a one-way ride to hell after witnessing an obscene blood sacrifice. Now, with a group of biking devil worshipers on their tail, they are pawns in an ancient battle between good and evil. Pursued to a decrepit old church in a ghost town, the campers fall victim to a new hell via a strange young boy harboring a terrifying secret and a priest with a terrifyingly divine mission of his own" (Bloody-Disgusting, Dreadcentral).
