Plot Summary
A young social media influencer, on his way to visit his grandmother after a flight delay, finds himself stranded in a small town with a dangerous secret. As he tries to uncover the truth, he becomes entangled with a mysterious stranger and a group of locals with questionable motives. The influencer must use his wit and online savvy to survive and expose the town's dark underbelly before it's too late.
Critical Reception
Carry-On received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. While some praised its fast-paced action and the performances of its lead actors, many found the plot predictable and the thriller elements lacking in originality. The film's attempt to blend social media commentary with a traditional thriller narrative was met with a divided response, with some appreciating the effort and others feeling it fell short.
What Reviewers Say
Praised for its energetic pace and engaging lead performances.
Criticized for a formulaic plot and underdeveloped thriller aspects.
The blend of modern social media culture and suspense was seen as ambitious but uneven.
Google audience: Audiences generally found the film to be an entertaining, albeit not groundbreaking, watch. Many appreciated the chemistry between the main cast and the film's quick pacing, making it a decent choice for a casual viewing. However, a significant portion of viewers felt the story relied too heavily on familiar tropes and lacked a truly surprising edge.
Fun Fact
The small town of Black Creek, where much of the film is set, was a specially constructed set designed to evoke a sense of isolated Americana, complete with a vintage diner and gas station.

Worst film in the franchise. I mean, where are Sid James’ laugh, Kenneth Williams’ innuendos, and Hattie Jacques’ stern glare?

Jaume Collet-Serra’s "Carry On" is a holiday action thriller that blends sharp direction, engaging storytelling, and great performances. The movie’s attention to detail is exceptional, with every scene serving a purpose. Its tightly woven p...

**Stay away, you have been warned!** This movie was so absurd that I felt compelled to write this review to warn others. From start to finish, it’s a series of implausible and downright ridiculous events. The portrayal of airport secu...

The worst movie of 2024 I know that sounds like hyperbole, but Carry-on truly is one the dumbest most asinine movies ever made. The movie is completely devoid of any logic and sense. The plot is idiotic to say the least and the same can ...
