Deadly Nightmares

Strange Passenger

In May of 2000, 17-year-old Liz Reiser and 18-year-old Brandi Hicks go to a local video store in the quaint Ohio town of New Philadelphia. Their plans for an innocent movie night quickly morph into a true-life horror film when they decide to give a ride to a stranger in the parking lot. The strange passenger takes Liz and Brandi on a ride to a remote area, at least 15 miles from the nearest town. Their greatest fears sink in as the man pulls over on the side of the road and ties them up. Liz and Brandi are forced to comply or die.
