The Toll

About This Movie

The Toll is this interesting blend of horror and thriller, with a pretty tense atmosphere that keeps you on edge. It follows a socially awkward driver and his weary passenger, both trying to navigate their way through a journey that quickly turns supernatural. The pacing feels intentional, building slowly but surely, almost like the tension is winding tighter with each mile. The practical effects are quite effective, fitting the overall tone of the film, and the performances are solid—there's a real sense of discomfort and unease between the characters. There's something distinctive about its approach to the supernatural too; it doesn't rely on jump scares but instead crafts a creeping dread that lingers.
