5/10
Really fun

Emerson Graham's (Casey Dillard, who also wrote the film) has lost her lover, her friends and even her motivation to be a stand-up comedienne. Now, she spends her nights as a cab driver, but on this fateful night, a mysterious passenger named Roger (Richard Speight Jr., Gabriel from Supernatural) gets her involved with his battle against the demonic curse against his family.

Basically, this is a movie between two actors for a good chunk of the film, shot within Emerson's rideshare car during a four hour period. I really liked how the demonic parts of this movie just sneak up on you. I'd done no reading about the film before starting to watch it and it really surprised me. I was hooked the whole way through.

I really enjoyed how the romantic parts of the partnership between the leads was played down. This is more about the battle to save the world - and their parts in it, too - than anything else. It was pretty realistic, for a movie where demons are possessing people, that is.
