What happens

The Toll is a 2020 Canadian horror thriller film directed by Michael Nader. The film stars Jordan Hayes and Max Topplin, with James McGowan and Rosemary Dunsmore in supporting roles. It follows a young woman (Hayes) who, after hailing a late-night ride-share, finds herself trapped with a strange driver (Topplin) on a deserted road, as the two become targets of a mysterious and malevolent force known as "The Toll Man". The Toll premiered at the 2020 Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and the South by Southwest Film Festival. This was followed by a limited release and later became available on video on demand platforms due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted its wider theatrical release. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with the performances of Hayes and Topplin receiving praise, while its screenplay and pacing received criticism. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
