The horror film 'Passenger', directed by André Øvredal (known for 'Trollhunter' and 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe'), hits theaters on May 22. Blending supernatural thriller and drama, it follows Tyler and Maddie, a couple trying to live the van life dream, who encounter a demonic entity known among travelers as 'the Passenger'.
Critics highlight tense jump scares and inventive use of modern car technology, including 360-degree shots and rearview camera work. However, reviews point to underdeveloped characters and mythology, as well as excessive exposition of the antagonist. One outlet gave the film a C+ grade.
Paramount Pictures releases the film in theaters on May 22.
