Passenger is a low-budget vanlife horror flick that lacks depth and creativity, yet offers some eerie charm. While it features a compelling narrative about two strangers trapped in a van, the script struggles with pacing and character development. The film’s reliance on clichés like Bob Ross’ famous line 'We don’t make mistakes' highlights how easily these tropes can be exploited. Though it features some standout scenes, such as the ominous projection of 'Roman Holiday,' the overall experience feels hollow. Fans of jump-scare might find the lackluster plot and uninteresting characters disappointing, but the film’s attempt to blend supernatural elements with a quirky tone could still captivate those who appreciate unexpected twists.
