IT’S TIME to hail the Black Cab from hell with Bruce Goodison’s (Born to Kill, Murdered by my Father, Doctor Foster) chilling horror, starring the inimitable Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Attack the Block). The thrilling Shudder Original is one seriously spooky, twisted affair and is coming to Blu-ray, DVD, and digital on 7 April 2025 courtesy of Acorn Media International.
Frost gives a brilliant performance as creepy cabbie Ian, playing against type in his most sinister role yet with Synnøve Karlsen (Last Night in Soho, Clique, Medici) brings an emotive and compelling performance as his tormented passenger, making this one a serious spine-tingler.
After an awkward date, Anne (Karlsen) and her controlling, abusive fiancé (Luke Norris – Poldark) hail a taxi, but it quicky dawns on them that they’ve picked the wrong ride, as their night goes from bad to terrifying…
Brutally abducted and tied up, the couple are at the mercy of their captor, and with their destination unknown, things become even more frightening as ghostly visions of a woman appear to torment them. As secrets are revealed about Anne’s past, Ian’s true motive starts to become clear. Can they escape the clutches of the disturbed driver and the bone-chilling haunting presence, or is this their final destination?
With shocking twists and revelations sure to scare your socks off, this is one Black Cab ride you’ll never forget.
Black Cab will be available to purchase on Blu-ray and DVD from Acorn Media International from April 7th
