10 Upcoming Horror Movies You Aren't Ready For
10. Passenger
Andre Øvredal has a gift for blending slow-burning tension with unsettling imagery, as he's demonstrated with The Autopsy of Jane Doe and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
And his next film, Passenger, promises to continue that trajectory, especially when taking the nail-biting trailer into account. In this night-drive nightmare, a young couple spot a demonic figure on the road ahead. Even after passing the entity, it keeps reappearing in the distance, endlessly taunting and tormenting them mile by mile.
It's a simple setup, but Passenger looks like it was built to get under your skin, especially for people who love a long drive.
Although cinema-goers often gravitate towards long-time franchises and recognised brands, this teeth-chattering indie has all the workings of a hit.
Øvredal also deserves a win after The Last Voyage of the Demeter tanked, so let's hope Passenger gets this underrated director back on top.
