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

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

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

Black Cab provides a surprisingly tense ride… but in future, we’ll probably stick to Ubers.

Rated: 4/5

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.

If it drags at 88 minutes you’ve got a problem. Nick Frost is the only reason this passed a 1 star. Don’t waste your time.

I'm actually offended at how awful this film is. Only watch this film if you feel you need to be punished for something you did in this life or a past life.

This movie was flat and confusing from the beginning. The acting was terrible from the fake bar scene. Nick Frost had his moments but even he deflates. I tuned out after 45 minutes as the movie went no where trying to do too much. Nothing was believable in this film as the acting was wanting. This movie does not know if it is horror, thriller or suspense. However, it definitely is not good.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Too confusing unless you are concentrating 100%. Starts off well but then try’s to be too clever with the intertwining of a ghostly woman who lost her child, references to the cab drivers wife and child, not knowing if they are dead or not and not getting clear cut answers from the film. A disappointing confusing end, which left me thinking I had wasted an hour and a half of my life.
