SYNOPSIS
A young woman takes an Uber late at night, but the driver starts acting strange and threatening. What was supposed to be a regular ride turns into a nightmare, with tension rising with every mile driven.
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
The film was born predominantly out of love. The two directors have a serious relationship with each other and with the art of cinema. And each and everyone in the crew was there because they love cinema.
The idea came out of nowhere when we were talking to each other about making a movie together, more specifically a horror movie. Doing our research we came upon an urban myth of “Sete Alem”, that believes that there are several portals in the world that can transport you to a parallel universe, that mirror our own yet are subtly altered. In our case, we decided to put that myth in practice in a scenario very common nowadays, ride app services. The idea was for people to imagine what was going to happen and then change how it happens. We are very proud of this film and learned a lot from it.
