Short Film: The Devil’s Passenger (2024) 

What Happens

Lauren is on her way to work and stops at a red light. Suddenly, a woman pounds on the back window of the van in front of Lauren’s car, obviously some kind of abused prisoner. Lauren drops her phone and can’t call for help, so she follows the van. It doesn’t end well…

Commentary

This is one of those films where we understand everything that happens but don’t get any explanation as to why. Still, it’s well-filmed, well-acted, and nicely paced, and it’s also pretty short. You still have to wonder why this is all happening. Just because.
