‘The Passenger’ – Latest Dark Star x Bloody Disgusting Collab Hits the Road With Nasty and Grotesque Horror Film

Published

on

Bloody Disgusting hits the road with Dark Star Pictures on our latest collaboration, the Spanish horror movie The Passenger (La pasajera).

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!

“The Passenger is the kind of film that will make you laugh and shudder all at the same time,” adds Dark Star Pictures President, Michael Repsch. “It is a breath of fresh air to the road trip genre and the film fits perfectly with the kind of content we love to bring to audiences.”

The Passenger will be opening in limited theaters on June 3, 2022, with the On Demand and DVD release to follow on June 28, 2022.

Making its world premiere at Sitges Film Festival in 2021, The Passenger held its U.S. Premiere at the San Diego Latino Film Festival last month. It will be making its rounds at Panic! Fest and Seattle International Film Festival later this month, writes Deadline, which first reported the news.

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.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
