The premise
As word spreads that there is a serial killer at large who continues to commit murder, an off-duty police officer must return an elderly witness who lives in a remote part of Uganda back to town. Along the way, the policeman gives a ride to an injured man. On the way to the city, the passenger tells the policeman the events that led him to end up injured in the middle of the road. But as we travel with these mysterious characters in the car, director Loukman Ali shows us that the stories they tell are only fragmentary and partial versions of the events that took place, and that perhaps there are truths buried beneath each of their words.
Horror Vault's take
Set against the remote Ugandan countryside, this taut thriller traps an off-duty police officer, an elderly witness, and a wounded stranger together on a tense road journey as a serial killer haunts the region. The passengers exchange stories that don't quite add up, and director Loukman Ali masterfully peels back layers of half-truth and misdirection. What begins as a simple escort mission steadily transforms into a gripping battle of wits inside a single vehicle. Fans of slow-burn, character-driven suspense will find plenty to unpack.
