Get ready for one hell of a cab ride with Shudder’s upcoming horror movie Black Cab, promising to redefine the idea of a nightmare commute.
Now, with the trailer that has been recently revealed, one is introduced to Anna, played by Synnøve Karlsen of Last Night in Soho, and Patrick, portrayed by Luke Norris, just trying to get home with their night out. Slowly, the tension starts building very gradually as the cab driver, played by Nick Frost of Timestalker, unfolds to a far darker side as it seems they are a friendly, chatty cab driver.
The levity of the casual conversation quickly becomes an uncomfortable situation when the cab driver reveals intrusive questions, especially about a visit made to a maternity ward. Things quickly become awkward and then unreally terrifying as the unsuspecting fiancé, Patrick, gets tased by this cab driver. It becomes disturbingly clear this cab driver has no intention of dropping them off at home.
Rather, it seems this couple is being driven right into the heart of horror; the destination may well be a road haunted by terrifying spirits. The trailer has left viewers in suspense about whether the nightmare of Anna and Patrick will ever end or if their ride has sealed their fate.
The chilling, unpredictable villain in the form of Nick Frost makes Black Cab a spine-tingling ride that might haunt you long after the credits. Fans of psychological horror and ghostly encounters are going to find this latest release from Shudder unbeatable, promising to be nervously suspenseful with supernatural terror.
If catching a cab in bad traffic was your worst nightmare, just think about this: Black Cab is a movie that will make you doubt your next cab ride. Haunted roads and an uninnocent cab driver make this movie sure to make you think twice about your next cab ride.
