Best friends Mel (Peyton List) and Jules (Cameron Goodman) are returning from a holiday in Mexico when they board an airport shuttle in the States. It's there they join two young men and an older business executive in what they believe to be a short journey home. But when the driver (Tony Curran) makes an unexpected detour into a dark and uninviting section of the city, it becomes clear the shuttle is taking its unwitting passengers somewhere else entirely.

Critics Consensus

While this debut by Edward Anderson is economical and occasionally effective, Shuttle offers little catharsis after its tense ride.

Shuttle could have worked but it is so bogged down with clichés and predictable twists that it comes apart at its illogical seams.

When the payoff finally arrives, it seems tasteless not just because of its topicality, but because the shock feels unearned.

Boasts a killer premise and better than average acting, so it's all the more disappointing that Anderson proves unable to avoid annoying horror movie pitfalls.

Rated: 2.5/4

Immediate frights and long-lasting dread are still not quite enough

Starts out promising but soon descends into typical horror fare. There is no point to the movie as it presents a steady diet of pain and cruel punishment on a dreary ride to a destination that will provide a most unsatisfactory ending. The film was adequately executed and actress Peyton List stands out as the resourceful resistor in a increasingly dreadful scenario. That said it can't save the movie from being a pointless and unrealistic excursion into already charted territory.

Highly recommended. For all women. Sad truth and a life change for any travelers. What I saw was eye opener.

Two friends take an airport shuttle home from a vacation flight and find themselves kidnapped by the driver along with 3 other passengers. Not a bad premise, but there seems to be about an hour of plot in this nearly 2 hour movie. It frequently just wastes time sitting in one place for a while until the plot kicks back in.

I liked this Horror Film. It takes you on an interesting ride and your not quite sure which direction that it's headed.

The movie sprinkles bits of tension, and has a pretty punch in the gut ending, but other than that is fairly forgettable. You have to give it up for the actors, as everyone is trying at least, yet their efforts will be for not. A movie about the films ultimate subject, human trafficking, could be really interesting, it just comes off as cheap exploitation. Man that's a lot of run on sentences.
