THE PASSENGER (LA PASAJERA): Spanish Horror Coming to U.S. Cinemas And DVD This June
News from our friends from the Spanish sci-fi horror flick, The Passenger (La Pasajera). Though we seem to have not heard from the American distributors directly this fun little indie horror from Fernando Gonzalez Gomez and Raul Cerezo will find its way onto screens in the U.S. on June 3rd followed by a DVD release on June 28th.
A shared van in which a man and three women are traveling, runs over a tourist walking in the dark on a secondary road. After loading her into the vehicle to take her to the nearest hospital, the occupants of the old van begin to notice that the new passenger is behaving strangely. They will soon understand that to save their lives they must abide by one clear rule: do not sit next to her..
We saw the film when it played at Morbido last year. We praised this ride-share horror from hell for its "otherworldly chills and thrills" that are bolstered by a dark sense of humor. Horror nerds will love that a lot of the effects are done in camera as well. They're extra gooey and gross too. You will find that review here. Watch the trailer down below.
