A young couple witness a horrific accident that leaves the driver dead. They soon encounter a demonic stalker who's impossible to outrun and follows them wherever they go.

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.

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.

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.

3.5/4

It is a fairly solid bit of genre craftwork that is a lot more impressive than its desultory release might suggest.

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.

2.5/5

With a few tweaks, this could have sown the seeds for a franchise. But it falls flat and as it stands it is an OK popcorn movie that definitely won’t go down as a horror classic.

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.

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.

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
