Critics Consensus

A stylish ride weighed down by the litany of clichés it picks up along the way, Passenger drives in circles but has some memorable bumps and jolts during the journey.

Elena Lazic Variety 1d
Norwegian director André Øvredal does not reinvent the wheel with this humble genre entry, but the film’s slick formal language, game central performances and intelligent thematic explorations make it a satisfying thrill-ride. Go to Full Review

Like a bright headlight facing you dead on or the sudden honk of a loud horn, only the jump scares keep you from falling asleep during the seemingly interminable Passenger. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
It is a fairly solid bit of genre craftwork that is a lot more impressive than its desultory release might suggest. Go to Full Review

1/5
So, almost everything expected of a horror film, from blood to gore to jump scares, happens in the film. Almost everything that you know will come to pass does. Go to Full Review

2.5/5

3.5/5
For a road movie, there are a few unpredictable twists, and while the jump scares are somewhat formulaic, they are mostly effective. Go to Full Review

Sophie 3h Liked this movie a lot, new concept to horror is always nice and there are a lot of jump scares! See more Todd H 5h It was suspenseful but at times was forced a bit too much, or no payout. Time (length) of the movie was perfect. My adult son and I enjoyed watching it. See more NaeH816 7h It was pretty cool. Taught me to continue to be a selfish driver and know where my keys, phone and Bible at all times while driving See more Priyank 10h Great movie !! I really enjoyed it!! See more LUCKI 10h It was really good. I know not to stop for an accident See more Robert Quintanilla 14h Made me jump and good movie!! See more Read all reviews
