On the whole, SHUTTLE is a perverse and mean-spirited motion picture, yet the powerful final moments of the film are truly sensational but diabolical none the less. The movie begins with two weary young women who have just ended their Mexican vacation, and need a ride back to town. They board the airport shuttle bus, and are taken hostage along with the other passengers. How will this divergent group free themselves from their psychotic abductor? The plot is straight-forward to the point of banality, yet here is where the story begins to lose plausibility. The fiendish driver takes them on a late night journey that seems endless and lasts most of the night. It really stretches credulity that no one would notice this out-of-control bus, and it would seem that they would have encountered more traffic if the airport had been located in the wilderness of Alaska. Their malevolent driver is menacing to the extreme, and a maximum of physical and psychological torture is dispatched. It is only in the final few minutes that the true motive for the kidnapping is revealed, and this electrifying final impression of abject loss makes the suspension of believe just about worth it.
Unbelievable, suspenseful, very well made.
The characters' actions-reactions are not credible and the narrative isn't either.
But it's still a good one. I would recommend it to friends. It's a good thriller.
But at times, it seems more like Halloween or these "supernatural" slashers, where the evil character keeps getting up despite being killed over and over and over again. In other words, the suspense is a bit overdone. Too much peanut butter on the slice of bread, trying to chew on it with a dry mouth, if you see what I mean.
But despite the exaggerations, it keeps you on the edge of your seat, so it gets the work done. A solid 6 in my book.

On the surface, 'Shuttle' looks like it's going to be one of those slightly laughable high-concept movies like 'P2' - kids get on the wrong airport shuttle bus and all hell breaks loose. You'd be forgiven for expecting little more than incompetently handled third-rate genre clichés. This is one of those rare instances when you'd be wrong. Defying all the odds, writer/director Edward Anderson manages to craft a tightly structured thriller with a genuine sense of mounting dread and performances well above the norm for straight-to-DVD fodder. He's able to create some sequences of real tension and displays more talent and understanding of the mechanics of suspense than many more experienced directors. I, for one, found the story involving, the protagonists likable, and enough unexpected reveals to keep me guessing 'till the very end as to the true nature of the crime being perpetrated. All in all, 'Shuttle' is a solid horror-thriller that chooses suspense over violence, and does so admirably well for such an inexperienced director. I've no idea what Anderson's been doing in the three years since making this movie, but I hope his evident talents won't go ignored much longer.
I have never even heard about this movie and I decided to give it a watch and Im sure glad I did. The acting is not bad and the storyline is believable. Not what I thought it was going to be but still a good movie. Ignore what everyone says about the ending its one of the best parts. Its their opinion because they get sad.
This movie is about 2 friends at the airport on their way back from Mexico. They meet two guys at the airport and they decide to spend sometime together. They catch a shuttle bus to take them into town but the shuttle does not take them to town. The driver takes them on a detour...
This movie was good. It was thrilling and very believable. New original story that has not been done before.

Shuttle was a good thrille/horror. But one that was very crushing especailly getting to the climax of the movie. This film follows two woman mel, and jules played by peyton list and cameron goodman. They have just got off a flight and a mysterious shuttle driver offers them a lift for half the price of the other one. They jump on as well as two men that were eyeing them up. And a man with a briefcase. You know things are going to go well and so they end up in danger. There is a lot of suspense throughout and good acting, especially on peyton lists part. Overall shuttle is a good but brutal movie that makes you relize not everyhting can turn out happy.

- TriviaDuring filming, Peyton List was on the phone with her boyfriend when the crew drove away, leaving her in a very sketchy neighborhood in Boston, not realizing she wasn't on the bus. After a few minutes, they realized she wasn't and went back for her.
- GoofsJules' gag changes drastically after the shuttle crash. Before, it was very thick and wrinkled. But when she wakes up after the crash, it's barely wrapped around twice and perfectly smooth.
