WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Cami (Hayes) catches a rideshare from the airport towards her father’s place in the middle of nowhere. Her driver, Spencer (Topplin), manages to startle his passenger with his awkward and unsettling behaviour. When the two of them become stranded together when the car breaks down in a secluded area, their suspicions of each other begin to grow – until they discover that they have become trapped in the world of a terrifying supernatural figure known as The Toll Man (Harroch)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

There are (slightly) greater things to fear than your unsettling Uber driver, as shown in this spooky supernatural horror that plays on paranoia and irrational fears to chilling effect.
