From Shudder, Sony Pictures Television and Stolen Pictures comes Black Cab, a supernatural horror movie starring Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead) that’s headed to Shudder.
Black Cab debuts on Shudder beginning Friday, November 8.
Exclusively watch the official trailer below.
Nick Frost will play “an erratic cab driver” in the upcoming horror movie from director Bruce Goodison (Murdered By My Father, Leave To Remain, Then Barbara Met Alan).
In Black Cab, “When Anne (Synnøve Karlsen) and Patrick (Luke Norris) hail a black cab after a night out their driver (Nick Frost) is chatty, jovial even, but they are in no mood to talk. In fact, the couple is barely on speaking terms. That is, until they realize the driver has no intention of taking them home.
“Locked in the cab with no means of escape, the driver transports the couple to a stretch of deserted and supposedly haunted road. But what is his purpose? Is he mad or just plain evil? And why has he selected Anne and Patrick as his victims?”
David Michael Emerson and Virginia Gilbert wrote the screenplay.
Bruce Goodison has established himself as one of the country’s leading drama directors, behind series as diverse as RTS and BAFTA nominee “Our World War”, ITV’s hit series “Home Fires,” BBC1’s “Doctor Foster” and Murdered by My Father. “Born to Kill” for World Productions/C4, “Anne” for World / ITV, and Then Barbara Met Alan for Netflix/BBC.
Following directing Nick Frost in Black Cab, he is slated to write and direct his third feature Girl Next Door to feature Bella Ramsay. Bruce has won two RTS awards, a BAFTA, a Broadcast Award, a Grierson and has been nominated three times for a BAFTA and once for an Emmy.
Netflix is reuniting with Emilia Perez director Jacques Audiard on an adaptation of French horror novel La Nuit ravagée, Variety reports today.
The project is described as an elevated horror film based on the critically acclaimed horror novel by Jean-Baptiste Del Amo.
It’s set in “Saint-Auch, a fictional suburb on the outskirts of Toulouse in Southern France, in the early 1990s. It follows a group of teenagers drawn to an abandoned house that exerts a strange power on them. After one of their friends dies under disturbing circumstances, they decide to enter the house, not suspecting it’s alive with something supernatural. Once they enter it, it begins to feed on their private fears, desires, and traumas, turning their psychological vulnerabilities into something monstrous and inescapable.“
The French-language Netflix original marks Audiard’s first foray into horror.
The divisive Emilia Perez, Audiard’s Spanish-language musical crime drama, amassed 13 nominations at the 97th Academy Awards but also met with controversy when offensive tweets by star Karla Sofía Gascón during the film’s award campaign.
Del Amo’s source novel was published last year and has been described as an homage to ’80s and ’90s horror in the vein of Stephen King, though its social realism is what lends itself to the elevated horror concept and Audiard’s attachment to the project.
Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
