Passenger looks like a tight, contained sci-fi thriller with horror edges, built around a transport scenario that feels wrong from the off. The trailer sells atmosphere first, keeping the exact shape of the threat vague while steadily pushing the sense that something is badly out of place.
André Øvredal’s genre background makes that approach an easy fit, while Jacob Scipio and Lou Llobell sit at the centre of a film that seems more interested in suspense than spectacle.
