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.

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

It’s the genre equivalent of an airbag that deploys already half-deflated.

André Øvredal continues assembling eerie images, but supports them with the goofiest tale this side of a campfire.

Passenger is an underwhelming horror movie that does have some moments of impressive visual flair, amid a plot of cheap, frustrating jump scares.

[Passenger] has a mediocre script that was made better by the talent behind the camera.

Passenger does for road trips what Jaws did for grocery shopping.

By no means groundbreaking but PASSENGER is a lean, mean horror movie with some very effective scares. It had me locking my car doors on the way home.

My husband and I liked this movie. Its a kind of old school horror film that definitely has some creepy scenes. A fun watch, we recommend!
