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?

Although this British horror flick gets a little muddy in strictly narrative terms with its tricky shifts in viewpoint, it’s rich enough in ideas and strong performances as well as running a blessedly crisp 88 minutes, that any flaws are easily forgiven.

Rated: 3/5

San Jose Mercury News

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

The film takes too long to get where it’s going. Nick Frost makes up for some of the picture’s shortcomings, but I was left wanting something more.

Rated: 2.75

Black Cab is an effective thriller with horror elements that work, giving the viewers some serious chills and a strong performance from Nick Frost and Synnove Karlsen showcased by careful, calculated, and well-lit cinematography.

Daily Record (UK)

Nothing is as scary or unsettling as Frost and the spooky similarities to The Curse of La Llorona are too plentiful to ignore.

Common Sense Media

By mixing the supernatural, mystery, menace, and a small but effective bit of gore, there is a lot for horror fans to enjoy.

Following a small dinner party, a woman and her husband (Synnove Karlsen, Luke Norris) get picked up by a sinister cab driver (Nick Frost). Co-writer Frost gives a deliciously sinister performance in what is otherwise an uninteresting film. The pacing is inconsistent, the atmosphere a bit gothic, and the supernatural is an aside. I had thought this was on my list when my wife wanted to view it. It wasn't. Ah well!

Started out okay but slowly and then fast went down hill. Nick frost couldn’t even save this. Shame, I wanted to like it but it wasn’t very good. Don’t waste your time watching this like I did.

The movie started off as something interesting that will make sense but in the end it was an absolute waste of time.

The first 25 minutes of the film give you the sense that there is something worthwhile to enjoy in this movie, featuring Nick Frost, but it all becomes tedious and monotonous as the film drifts into the darkness. The title of the film and the brief description of the cab moving along a haunted road gave me shivers, but when I saw it, it was nothing like I expected.
