A girl and her kind-of boyfriend/kind-of fiance end up in the back of a cab, locked in, being driven by our bozo fruit-loop (as seen very clearly in trailers). He hauls them off to his isolated lair in the woods, then does nasty things to them both.
We find out from the gob-shyte driver all about his background (which eventually stitches things together along with a kind of ghostly story mixed in) with clues as to what's what peppered out along the way.
It stars Nick Frost (from Shaun of the Dead) and Synnove Karlsen (from Last Night in Soho) who do a decent-enough job with the not-so-decent-enough material! They try to make it atmospheric and eerie throughout, all under cover of darkness/rain, pretty much, but don't really nail it. The best fun is waiting for the annoying, rude and abusive boyfriend to 'get it' whilst bit-by-bit feeling sorry for the girl and getting on her side.
It's OK - just nothing to write home about or consider watching again - or indeed shellin' out hard-earned to view if you don't have it 'included' somewhere. That's about it really. Instantly forgettable - but alright. I suppose!
