Movie Info

Supernatural terror and spine-tingling suspense highlight this gripping journey into fear. When Cami orders a taxi service to take her to her father's country home, she's hoping for a quiet and uneventful ride. But a wrong turn by Spencer, her chatty driver, results in the car stalling on a dark and remote road. After several threatening and inexplicable occurrences, Cami and Spencer realize they are being watched--by an unseen presence that sees them as trespassers, and is ready to exact a deadly toll.

Critic Reviews for The Toll

All Critics (24) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (9)

Even at a sparse 80 minutes, the build of the tension and set-up of Cami and Spencer's mistrusting relationship is too extended. If the film is asking asking you to pay it in time, the return on investment may seem a little low.

Austin Chronicle
The toll to be collected here is 80 minutes of your time. The most terrifying thing you can do is pay it.

Michael Nader keeps it lean and mean for his first horror feature, and the result is a creepy winner.

Randy Myers
San Jose Mercury News
The two leads, the great set-up, and the overall love for the genre embedded in every scene leads to an overall success.

"The Toll" is an okay calling-card movie, shivery at times but too eager to embrace illogic as the language of nightmares.

Owen Gleiberman
Variety
The Toll keeps getting more silly and second-hand, until it springs a late "twist" which haplessly undermines the logic of most character behavior before it.

While it gets a lot of mileage out of its unnerving setup and compelling characters, The Toll can't quite drive home its conclusion.

Josh Goller
Spectrum Culture
A grab bag of horror tropes [that] comes across as more an exercise in cumulative cliché than a fully thought-through movie.

The climax is crapola.

John Serba
Decider
Despite chintzy production values and an ending that feels like a cheap, cynical rug-pull, The Toll remains a chilling, unconventional little indie-horror outing.

The Lens
The horror thriller will make you think twice about driving down a dark country road late at night.

Joe Friar
The Victoria Advocate
'The Toll' struggles to maintain its mysterious allure as both creature elements and the film's driver-passenger suspense dissipates in a rather off-balance finale.
