Moviegoers are saying
This horror film lands squarely in 'decent but forgettable' territory, with audiences praising its effective jump scares while criticizing its predictable plot and lack of character development. Most viewers describe it as perfect Netflix-worthy entertainment that delivers solid scares without breaking new ground, though some found it disappointingly average compared to recent horror masterpieces.

The beginning of the movie was done really well but after that it felt pretty generic like I could predict what would happen. There was a couple good jump scares throughout the movie. I just feel like they could have taken a different approach to the movie.
Sadie Schalkwyk likedPassengerplot is lacking but overall some good jump scares. and one super cinematic scene where the girl is holding her arms out, that was super unique and dope, but the rest pretty classic jumpscare movie
Mckenzie dislikedPassengerthe scary guy looks like ozzy osbourne
- Trey Barwick likedPassenger
I definitely had fun watching this one. As a fan of creepy paste style stories, this movie takes the ever popular van lifestyle that is so prevalent today and adds some creepy pasta style horror to it. Don’t take it too seriously and just enjoy the small story.
Ranj Farhad likedPassengerI liked the beginning, it actually set things up really well and had some crazyy tension. After that, it started feeling pretty predictable, like I could see most things coming. Ending was awful and why the hell he took so much time under that goddam van 🚐!??
Alex dislikedPassenger1/10 broke my damn neck watching this dumb ahh film cuz I got stuck in the front row of the theatre. Terrible plot, bad acting, goofy dialogue. Criminal to be watching this in the theatre next to obsession 😭😭
- Des is "meh" onPassenger
Decent jump scares but pretty predictable
Billie Jay likedPassengerWhen looking back at the horror releases we have seen this year, Passenger undoubtedly stands tall as one of the absolute best — sitting right alongside Obsession as a definitive highlight of the genre. From the opening scene to the final moments, this is a film that captivates you completely,…
Kodie dislikedPassengerDisappointing Blumhouse-wannabe Conjuring slop. Every major aspect of this movie was a complete failure, pick a struggle. This was the least competent film (horror or otherwise) I’ve seen in theaters this year and I’ve watched Dolly, Undertone, and Faces of Death. Save your money
