‘The Passenger’ Leaves a Gore-Filled Mess on VOD Platforms! [Dark Star x Bloody Disgusting]

Published

on

Bloody Disgusting has hit the road with Dark Star Pictures on our latest collaboration, the Spanish horror movie The Passenger (La pasajera), which is now available On Demand and DVD on June 28, 2022!

In the film, a group of strangers sharing a ride has their trip interrupted when the driver hits a woman hiking in the dark of night. They decide to help her, but quickly learn that something is wrong and that they shouldn’t have let her in at all.

It stars Ramiro Blas (“Blackwod”), Cecilia Suarez (“The House of Flowers”), Paula Gallego (“Paquita Salas”) and Christina Alcazar (“Cachorro”).

Raúl Cerezo and Fernando González Gómez directed the high concept horror film that is nothing short of grotesque, delivering buckets of blood and revolting effects!

Variety raved about the film, calling it “stylish and humorous,” Nightmarish Conjurings says the film is a perfect “combination of horror, heart, and humor,” and Movieweb hyped that it’s “entertaining, imaginative, and quite the throwback to the science fiction movies released in the sixties and seventies.”

Get a taste of the chaos in the following red band trailer. You’re going to love this one!!!

Previous Dark Star x Bloody Disgusting collaborations include the critically-acclaimed Texas Chain Saw-esque Honeydew, the insanely gory Giallo-inspired slasher The Last Matinee, and the gross-out midnighter Dementia: Part II.

Hokum Review - Hokum Digital Release Date

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.

Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.

Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.

Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.

Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.

Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.

I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”

What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
