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.

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

With so many better horror movie options out there at the moment, it’s hard to justify taking a road trip to see this.

with a subject matter that whilst interesting in theory, in practice, it fails to produce anything other than a horror movie which is completely middle of the road when it comes to its plot and its scares.

Shallow design isn’t quite enough to sink Passenger... You could do worse for cheap thrills.
