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.

Brian Tallerico Movie Retriever Shuttle could have worked but it is so bogged down with clichés and predictable twists that it comes apart at its illogical seams. Mar 19, 2009 Full Review Scott Tobias AV Club When the payoff finally arrives, it seems tasteless not just because of its topicality, but because the shock feels unearned. Rated: C Mar 19, 2009 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There is no release for the audience, no 'entertainment,' not even much action excitement. Just a remorseless march into the dark. Rated: 1/4 Mar 19, 2009 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 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 Sep 7, 2009 Full Review Marty Mapes Movie Habit Immediate frights and long-lasting dread are still not quite enough Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 21, 2009 Full Review Christian Toto What Would Toto Watch? Hop aboard this Shuttle if you're in the mood for one unsettling ride. Rated: 3/4 Apr 2, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Nicole M In my 34 years of living, I have never made an account somewhere just to give a movie a bad rating. Now I have. Save your time and pick a different movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Veerapat B Nasty and dumb trying to be psychological play with your head kinda movie There are many nonsense and irrational points, weak writing and try hard Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Highly recommended. For all women. Sad truth and a life change for any travelers. What I saw was eye opener. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It was an ok movie until the end when it became amazing. Great ending. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
