The Passenger (Spanish: La pasajera) is a 2021 Spanish science-fiction comedy horror road movie directed by Raúl Cerezo and Fernando González Gómez which stars Ramiro Blas, Cecilia Suárez, Paula Gallego and Cristina Alcázar.
Four people with different backgrounds (a skeevy driver, a religious Mexican, and a posh woman with her wayward teen daughter) coincide on a van trip across empty Spain.
[8] Pablo Tocino of Mondosonoro scored 7 out of 10 points, considering that while Cristina Alcázar and Cecilia Suárez' performances are more than adequate, those of Ramiro Blas and Paula Gallego stand out in particular.
[2] Dennis Harvey of Variety assessed that even if fails at transcending "its basic creature-feature premise", the "stylish and humorous" film "does make getting to a familiar destination more fun than many a similar enterprise has managed".
[9] Miguel Ángel Romero of Cinemanía gave the film 2 out of 5 stars considering that the film, blending B movie exploitation and Spanish costumbrismo, features comedy moments alongside a great deal of cringe.
