neutral · AI labelView post →Jack Nicholson's favourite from his own movies, Michael Antonioni's 1975 film The Passenger is an existential masterpiece. A journalist switches identities with an arms dealer in this astonishing film; the stunning penultimate shot is seven minutes long. 5 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/09/03/t...
neutral · AI labelView post →I had a free movie rental code that was going to expire earlier this week so I just grabbed THE PASSENGER and stuck it in my library to watch later as it's been on my watchlist for a while. It doesn't look like an 8pm Friday kind of movie. But it does look like an 11:30pm Friday Night Movie.

Weeks into their van life adventure, a couple witnesses a horrific accident. Soon they’re pursued by a demonic stalker who follows them wherever they go.

neutral · AI labelView post →The new horror movie “Passenger” was fine. It’s Nomadland meets the conjuring. Writing was awful but there’s some really fun camera work that creates a ton of tension! 📽️🐻
neutral · AI labelView post →THE PASSENGER (1975) was one of JACK NICHOLSON’s favourite of his own films. So much so he acquired the rights to the film from MGM in compensation for a film project that fell through, and was the principal figure behind the film getting a DVD release. #MichelangeloAntonioni

positive · AI labelView post →New in cinemas, Paramount's Passenger is a supernatural horror about a demonic entity that seeks the souls of unwary travellers; you know the drill. Coming after Obsession and Hokum, it's the worst of the current crop of jump-scare movies for teenagers. 2 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/05/23/p...
