Director Bruce Goodison (“My Murder,” “Murdered by My Father,” “Murder in the Car Park”) and screenwriter Virginia Gilbert (“Home,” “A Long Way from Home”) have an idea for “Black Cab.” It’s just not one especially suited for feature-length examination. What’s here is primarily a concept for a short, tracking the growing panic of a woman who’s been essentially kidnapped by her cab driver, left to suffer as she endures a lengthy ride to the middle of nowhere, facing a villain who’s slow to expose his motives. The filmmakers endeavor to launch a ghost story with the material, but very little paranormal activity is found in the movie. “Black Cab” is more of a screenwriting exercise than a true nail-biter, dealing with lengthy speeches and limited movement, which doesn’t inspire much suspense. Viewers expecting evil from the premise are served a lukewarm chiller instead, and one that runs out of creative gas early. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
