Holy heck this was a tough watch. And quite a bizarre one too I have to say. On the one hand you have a lame duck of a horror movie with almost nothing to offer, yet amongst all that you have the natural charisma of Nick Frost doing everything it can to shine through. Could he do enough to save it? He could not.
This movie just didn't work on any level. It wasn't intriguing, it wasn't scary or mysterious or tense. It was just a nothing ride. And frankly quite an unpleasant one too. All the characters were highly detestable people and not a lot of fun to spend 90 minutes with.
For whatever reason the British do not seem to do horror all that well. I've seen very few British horror movies over the years that I've actually enjoyed and 'Black Cab' was certainly not one of them. 4/10.

British indie horror can sometimes be a bit hit and miss. This one is fairly middle of the road.
Nick Frost plays his part well. Equal parts troubled, scared, creepy and even endearing. He steals the show for me although Synnove Karlsen puts in a decent turn.
The movie plays on classic haunted highway ghost stories and has some creepy moments. Theres an interesting angle about how vulnerable we really are in a cab driven by someone we know nothing about but that isn't really the purpose of the story, although the depth in Frost's performance did make me think.
Shot in the dark and taking place in a single night with a significant proportion inside a London cab, there's some good use of light. A couple of jump scares and some creepy exposition delivered nicely by Frost give the film just enough atmosphere to keep you engaged.
My favourite part was the ending which is a little ambiguous and probably open to some interpretation.
Overall though I thought it was pretty average fare.

I read the very short synopsis and the story grabbed my attention. So I watched it. All seemed good and the story was going smoothly until it started turning into a bit of a Twin Peaks, extremely confusing in other words!
I was surprised to see Nick Frost cast in a serious/psychopathic role. It was like Kevin James giving a surprising performance in Becky. Both comedians and both did quite well playing serious roles.
Like I said this movie began to go all over the place three-quartres into it. It was very confusing towards the end.
I could not make anything out of it. Was it supposed to be a horror Groundhog Day movie? Was it supposed to be like Ryde?
There was nothing wrong with the performane of the cast. But the story and moreover the ending seriously disappointed me! I suspect the person who posted the first contribution must be one of the producers or someone somehow connected to the movie.

Semi-creepy, semi-interesting with horrible flow and logic, insipid acting, minuscule gore, below-average psychological ghost impact, nothing to say on it besides it makes you sleep like tiny dosage of propofol. British indie horror that's slightly below-average, phlegmatically underachieved and never should have been produced. That black cab should have eaten the driver whole up.

Too bad. I'm sure there's a good film that could be chiseled out of Black Cab, but that remains to be seen. Maybe in the hands of a better writer, editor and director, Black Cab could've been thrilling enough to warrant a sequel.
Atmospherically, the set designers got that right with their oodles of moody/rainy darkness. Where the film falls apart is in its unoriginality. You could see where the driver was heading from a mile away. There was also nothing new about the ghosts and there were too many loose ends to consider Black Cab complete.
The general acting ranged from okay to annoying. As a former taxi driver, I watched this movie based on its description alone without reading any reviews on IMDb. I should have next time.
