Night Drive
Directors Bradford Baruh & Meghan Leon | 2021 | Thriller, Science Fiction, Independent | English
Russell (AJ Bowen) is a driver in Los Angeles who’s reeling from a series of bad decisions. While his life seems to be caught in a downward spiral, a business proposition from an alluring but enigmatic passenger named Charlotte (Sophie Dalah) proves too good to turn down. A simple ride turns deadly, catapulting Russell into an even darker place, but Charlotte may be the key to a second chance he thought he’d never have…if he can make it through the night.
Surprising at every turn and with a wickedly dark sense of humor, directors Meghan Leon’s and Bradford Baruh’s Night Drive is an unforgettably shocking ride-along with a seemingly normal man and the most abnormal of passengers.
“A WONDERFULLY WRITTEN, SKILLFULLY DIRECTED, AND MARVELOUSLY ACTED INDEPENDENT FILM THAT HOOKS THE VIEWER AND SERVES UP A SOLID WTF MOMENT WHEN IT ALL COMES TOGETHER.”
– FEARS MAG
“A FAST-PACED, UNIQUE STORY THAT MANAGES TO BE BOTH SAVAGE AND FUN IN EQUAL PARTS.”
– MODERN HORRORS
“NIGHT DRIVE TAKES THE VIEWER ON AN UNEXPECTED ROAD TRIP.”
– NIGHTMARISH CONJURINGS
“AN ENGAGING THRILLER WITH A NICE DOSE OF DARK COMEDY, NIGHT DRIVE IS A FILM TO GO INTO KNOWING AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. ITS TWISTS AND SURPRISES ARE TOO MUCH FUN TO HAVE SPOILED.”
– VOICES FROM THE BALCONY
“A GENRE-FUELED LA ROAD MOVIE [THAT’S] MOTORED AS MUCH BY ITS ODD-COUPLE DYNAMIC AS ITS REVISIONIST MACGUFFIN.”
– PROJECTED FIGURES
“A REAL TREAT OF A MOVIE THAT SHOULD BE ENJOYED AS THE GENRE GEM IT IS.”
– HEAVEN OF HORROR
“WILL TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS.”
– BACKSEAT MAFIA
“DEFINITELY WORTH A WATCH.”
– CREATIVE LOAFING TAMPA BAY
“AT A BREEZY 80ISH MINUTES IT MANAGES AN ENDING THAT ASKS QUESTIONS OF US WITHOUT INDULGING TOO MUCH IN THE TEMPTATION TO DIG UP ANSWERS.”
– EYE FOR FILM
“THE BACK-AND-FORTH BANTER BETWEEN RUSSELL AND CHARLOTTE IS CLEVER, VARIED, AND CHOCK-FULL OF REFERENCES TO DIFFERENT MOVIES. THE FINAL ACT GOES FULL-TILT CEREBRAL SCI-FI.”
– JOSH AT THE MOVIES
“ONE OF THE BEST ENDINGS I’VE SEEN ALL YEAR, SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIVING IT A SHOT.”
– HORROR OBSESSIVE
