A shared van in which a man and three women travel runs over a tourist who is walking in the dark on a secondary road. After putting her in the vehicle to take her to the nearest hospital, they begin to observe that she has a strange behavior. From that moment on, the occupants of the old van quickly understand that it is time to save themselves or die and that they have a clear rule: "Don't sit by their side."
Raúl Cerezo and Fernando González Gómez's rideshare horror flick, La Pasajera (The Passenger) will have its world premiere at Sitges next month. It was a pleasant surprise for us to see it pop up in the festival's lineup announcements as we were writing about the production of the film when it started last August in Spain and lost track of it afterwards.
But here we are, and a teaser trailer has been released and even though it doesn't have English subtitles we think its clear what is going on. It looks potentially scary, potentially goopy and gorey with its fare shake of in camera practical effects. They may be on the road trip to Hell but to us it looks like they're headed in the right direction. And a big shout out for the use of pasodoble music. Love it.
You will be directed over to Vimeo to watch the trailer.
