A new trailer from Shudder has just dropped for the new horror thriller Black Cab, starring Nick Frost and Synnøve Karlsen. It looks interesting, and not how I’m used to seeing Frost in roles!
The film’s plot focuses on a couple who get in a black cab after a sensible-looking night out with friends, but then things go awry when their cab driver decides to kidnap them, leading them to a desolate, haunted road.
Here’s the official synopsis:
When Anne (Karlsen) and Patrick (Luke Norris) hail a black cab after a night out their driver (Frost) is chatty, jovial even, but they are in no mood to talk. In fact, the couple is barely on speaking terms. That is, until they realize the driver has no intention of taking them home. Locked in the cab with no means of escape, the driver transports the couple to a stretch of deserted and supposedly haunted road. But what is his purpose? Is he mad or just plain evil? And why has he selected Anne and Patrick as his victims?
Granted, I’d seen Frost in the trailer for Krazy House (which I haven’t seen yet but am super excited about!) but that still seemed on the sillier side of horror. This looks, ermmm… dead serious.
Check out the trailer below:
Black Cab comes from director Bruce Goodison (Our World War, Home Fires, Doctor Foster, and Murdered by My Father), and you’ll be able to see it on Shudder from 8th November.
What do you think of the trailer for Black Cab? Will you be watching on Shudder? Let me know in the comments.
