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

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.

Nick Frost’s sinister turn isn’t enough to overcome this tepid horror-thriller.

Rated: 2/5

[If] futility and boredom were the whole point of the exercise, then I guess it’s a job well done.

[T]he filmmakers have gambled that the ghost story is more compelling, unsettling, and worth exploring ... It's a bad bet.

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.

It was okay but a bit over the top. The over acted cast didn't help. Stupid ending

It was gripping and intense atmosphere. Frost did a great job. The story just wasn’t impressive and a let down
