THE PASSENGERS (1977) is probably the least seen Dean Koontz adaptation and a nifty, mean little thriller deserving of rediscovery. Some stellar DUEL-like car action, a truly disturbed and threatening villain, and fun European/period touches make for a great watch.

The first film is okay, but BLACK PHONE 2 is a meaty good time and the best Cargill/Derrickson since SINISTER. Minor nitpicks -- namely those ugly cg mattes -- but the kid kills are gnarly, Hawke is aces, score is terrific, and it's easily one of the better ELM ST riffs. Ready for part 3!
