When Anne (Synnøve Karlsen) and Patrick (Luke Norris) hail a black cab after a night out their driver (Nick Frost) is chatty, jovial even, but they are in no mood to talk. In fact, the couple is barely on speaking terms. That is, until they realize the driver has no intention of taking them home. Locked in the cab with no means of escape, the driver transports the couple to a stretch of deserted and supposedly haunted road. But what is his purpose? Is he mad or just plain evil? And why has he selected Anne and Patrick as his victims?

There’s some good stuff here; foggy-thick England backroads atmosphere and a serving of bloody comeuppance but the story just runs out of gas, leaving us stranded by the side of the road.

Rated: 2.5/4

JoBlo's Movie Network

This is not a terrible movie or a great one, but Nick Frost makes it destination viewing with a charismatic and creepy lead performance.

Rated: 6/10

While Black Cab does possess some gorgeous and mesmerizing gothic qualities... it might have done well to lean into the former some more, and trusted the viewer to connect more of the latter’s dots on their own.

Daily Dead

The entire experience is a road to nowhere lined with ghastly figures who can't scare up a chill lest a scream, spinning their wheels without treads touching the pavement.

Rated: 2/5

If Black Cab had a little more focus and leaned more intently into its minimalist concept, it might’ve worked, but as it stands, it progresses in fits and starts to an underwhelming, unmemorable conclusion.

Starts pretty strong and focused and descends into a weird ghost story where the cab never really had anything to do with the plot?

Good small,close movie.. Always thought Nick Frost would be a good bad guy. Only issue I have is I wish it was fleshed out a bit more.

Had potential. One of the worst movies I've seen, don't bother watching. Ghost scenes are treacherous, story line has too many gaps. Wish I never saw it.
