Two parents receive a distressing late-night call from their teenage daughter, who has just accidentally hit a pedestrian. They jump in their car, racing to get there before anyone else stumbles across the scene. As they head deeper into the night, disturbing revelations threaten to tear the family apart as they soon realize they might not be the only ones driving down Hallow Road.

Critics Consensus

Minimalist in presentation while getting great mileage out of Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys' superb performances, Hallow Road is a nerve-wracking thriller that takes audiences down a haunting path.

We're get mystical and magical, and that's when it goes off the road.

The Travers Take

3/4

Two people talking in a car. Hardly the stuff of white-knuckle drama, right? It is when you hitch two phenomenal actors, Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys, to a suspenseful script and tightly coiled direction by Babak Anvari, and then let them rip.

1.5/4

At the same time, however, none of the stuff that has to be protected for the sake of the audience’s viewing pleasure is actually worth protecting.

Although it’s far from perfect, Hallow Road does a lot with very little, and feels refreshing in its avoidance of maximalist filmmaking.

3/5

Director Babak Anvari crafts a wonderfully creepy atmosphere for this eerie horror thriller, claustrophobically centred on a couple racing through the night to help their daughter.

2.5/5

Hallow Road starts off as a promising thriller, but it shoots itself in the foot with a hollow, unsatisfying, and illogical conclusion.

As a double feature I had a blast. Miss these types of screenings. “Vincent Must Die” was average for me. Nothing special. Seems the director didn’t know or couldn’t think of an explanation so just left it as whatever. “Hallow Road” was the better film. Mysterious and intriguing. I have my idea about it but overall in the moment I was locked in. I went with it and had a great time. Overall I wish they would do more double features.

The acting in this movie was phenomenal. You honestly felt like you were on the journey with Alice’s parents. The problem in the end was that the destination at the end of the movie was not intriguing whatsoever and made the 1 hour and 20 minute runtime seem absolutely grueling. I was pissed at the end and felt like an awesome conclusion was coming that never did. One of those movies that just ends abruptly and you’re thinking "what the hell?!?!".

It's very good, mostly original but a bit of a let down at the end.

Pretty good 90 minute thriller. Takes some good writing to keep you engaged when most of the movie takes place inside a car. Good movie night pick.

Quite boring. I saw what was going on 20 minutes in...and then skipped 10 minutes without missing anything. It's basically a very long phone call. That's the movie.
