Four people traveling in a van run over a lone woman while she is walking in the dark down a country road. After loading her into the vehicle to take her to the nearest hospital, they notice that she is behaving rather strangely. The occupants of the van soon realise that the time has come to fight for their lives, and together they agree on one very simple rule: "do not sit next to her."
The Passenger came as a rather pleasant surprise.
This little Spanish horror comedy makes a lot with very little.
The story is predictable but it succeeds primarily because of the great chemistry between the two lead actors. The proxy, father daughter relationship works well in the context of an end of the world style apocalypse. Both characters spark off one another in a positive, hopeful way, as this comedic horror romp, plays out.
In summary, the Passenger just goes to show that a decent story and quality acting, more than make up for a big bucks production. Well worth a look.
