The Passenger is another great Blumhouse film but it departs slightly from the company’s killer horror. It starts in a brutal, horrific way, but then turns into this weird buddy road trip movie. However, don’t mistake it for a carefree, fun movie. In fact, Randy (Johnny Berchtold) is on a road trip from hell. This makes The Passenger ending so fascinating. This nightmarish situation ends with a happy conclusion that’s a complex tribute to a killer.
Two stuffed animals haven’t been this important since Pixar made Toy Story. It’s not the toys themselves that are important, but the representation, especially for Benson (Kyle Gallner) and his journey. The green giraffe is more than just a green giraffe here.
