Best friends Mel (Peyton List) and Jules (Cameron Goodman) are returning from a holiday in Mexico when they board an airport shuttle in the States. It's there they join two young men and an older business executive in what they believe to be a short journey home. But when the driver (Tony Curran) makes an unexpected detour into a dark and uninviting section of the city, it becomes clear the shuttle is taking its unwitting passengers somewhere else entirely.

Critics Consensus

While this debut by Edward Anderson is economical and occasionally effective, Shuttle offers little catharsis after its tense ride.

Shuttle could have worked but it is so bogged down with clichés and predictable twists that it comes apart at its illogical seams. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias AV Club Mar 19, 2009

When the payoff finally arrives, it seems tasteless not just because of its topicality, but because the shock feels unearned. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Mar 19, 2009

There is no release for the audience, no 'entertainment,' not even much action excitement. Just a remorseless march into the dark. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Sep 7, 2009

Boasts a killer premise and better than average acting, so it's all the more disappointing that Anderson proves unable to avoid annoying horror movie pitfalls. Go to Full Review Marty Mapes Movie Habit Apr 21, 2009

Jay L @Jay.Livin Jul 25, 2026 This movie took an unexpected turn for me seeing as I went in blind. The message behind the movie is all too real, gut wrenching and left me speechless. Although I was sad about the ending that is the reality of what happens daily all over the world and should be talked about more. The only complaint I have about the film is that it’s very unrealistic that there wasn’t at least a few people walking around on the streets to witness this or more than just the one car we saw towards the end of the film. It would’ve been more realistic if he would’ve taken them to a secluded area or place earlier on in the film.

See more Veerapat B @RT39014387 May 12, 2025 Nasty and dumb trying to be psychological play with your head kinda movie There are many nonsense and irrational points, weak writing and try hard See more Feb 22, 2021 Starts out promising but soon descends into typical horror fare. There is no point to the movie as it presents a steady diet of pain and cruel punishment on a dreary ride to a destination that will provide a most unsatisfactory ending. The film was adequately executed and actress Peyton List stands out as the resourceful resistor in a increasingly dreadful scenario. That said it can't save the movie from being a pointless and unrealistic excursion into already charted territory. See more Jan 17, 2021 Highly recommended. For all women. Sad truth and a life change for any travelers. What I saw was eye opener. See more Oct 10, 2018 It was an ok movie until the end when it became amazing. Great ending. See more Read all reviews
