‘Black Cab’ Trailer: Nick Frost Stars In Claustrophobic New Thriller
So I’m not sure if anyone else has had this experience, but I often experience a twinge of unwarranted anxiety when getting dropped off by a Lyft or Uber driver. What if they’re a serial killer tracking me to be their next victim? Yes, it’s irrational, but the brain does strange things. And it seems that director Bruce Goodison has tapped directly into my irrational fears with his new film Black Cab, starring Nick Frost.
In Black Cab:
When Anne and Patrick hail a black cab after a night out their driver 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?
So maybe this isn’t the EXACT scenario that haunts my unconsciousness, but it’s pretty damn close, albeit with some supernatural elements sprinkled in for good measure. This is Nick Frost is a role unlike anything you’ve ever seen from the actor.
Frost stars in the film with Luke Norris and Synnøve Karlsen. David Michael Emerson wrote the film with additional material by Nick Frost and Virginia Gilbert
Black Cab comes to Shudder on Friday, November 8.
