  • Cliché Storm: Apart from the Driver's incredibly disturbing MO, there's really nothing particularly new or interesting about the movie.
  • Complete Monster: The Driver is a Serial Killer who has killed dozens of women across the country. He rear-ends his victims to coax them into giving him their personal information. He then scouts their house, and waits until night to stalk and murder them. After killing them, he assumes a different name using his victim's last name and the first letter of their first name, then takes their money, which he uses to refill his gas tank when he's running low, and finally takes the next exit to claim another victim. The first time he makes his presence known in the movie, he stalks and kills a woman before departing with her license plate and a new alias. Then he rear-ends a teenage girl, and gets her personal information. Later that night, he murders her ex-boyfriend, then chases the girl and her friends through the house. The first one he stabs, then throws her out the window and runs her over when he sees she's still alive. He stabs the second victim, then goes after his intended target, who manages to fight him off. Narrowly surviving being bludgeoned, stabbed and burnt, he kills her, too, before assuming a new name and leaving to continue his murder spree.
  • Paranoia Fuel: You probably won't be blamed for locking every door and window in your house next time you get rear-ended once you see this movie.
  • Tear Jerker: The voicemail from Hilary's mother. She tells Hilary that she can take her to her show when she gets back. All while the camera is panning over the dead bodies of Hilary and her friends, propped up in their respective cars.
  • The Woobie: Dumb as half the decisions Hilary made are, it may be difficult not to feel sorry for her, considering what a miserable day she's having.
