Best friends Mel (Peyton List) and Jules (Cameron Goodman) are returning from a holiday in Mexico when they board an airport shuttle in the States. It's there they join two young men and an older business executive in what they believe to be a short journey home. But when the driver (Tony Curran) makes an unexpected detour into a dark and uninviting section of the city, it becomes clear the shuttle is taking its unwitting passengers somewhere else entirely.

Critics Consensus

While this debut by Edward Anderson is economical and occasionally effective, Shuttle offers little catharsis after its tense ride.

Shuttle could have worked but it is so bogged down with clichés and predictable twists that it comes apart at its illogical seams.

When the payoff finally arrives, it seems tasteless not just because of its topicality, but because the shock feels unearned.

1/4

There is no release for the audience, no 'entertainment,' not even much action excitement. Just a remorseless march into the dark.

2.5/4

Boasts a killer premise and better than average acting, so it's all the more disappointing that Anderson proves unable to avoid annoying horror movie pitfalls.

Immediate frights and long-lasting dread are still not quite enough

If you want to read the review I wrote for this, go to letterboxd.com/HankIsDead514. I can no longer post long reviews on here and I'm not writing two separate reviews for the same movie.

It was an ok movie until the end when it became amazing. Great ending.

Two friends take an airport shuttle home from a vacation flight and find themselves kidnapped by the driver along with 3 other passengers. Not a bad premise, but there seems to be about an hour of plot in this nearly 2 hour movie. It frequently just wastes time sitting in one place for a while until the plot kicks back in.

I liked this Horror Film. It takes you on an interesting ride and your not quite sure which direction that it's headed.

May 18, 2009

A by the numbers captivity thriller with a twist finale that attempts to add some gravitas but comes off as tasteless, undeserved and exploitive.
