What to Know

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. Go to Full Review
Peter Travers The Travers Take Oct 31
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

4/5
There are surprises throughout and an unexpected twist toward the end, which will keep viewers on their toes, but the final few minutes may lose the faith of more pragmatic viewers. Go to Full Review
Charles Johnston Spectrum Culture Nov 4
An eerie film with a ghostly atmosphere that can be interpreted many different ways, where every possible scenario is a nightmare. Go to Full Review

Nicholas E Nov 17 Hallow Road was GREAT!!! See more Mr Hollywood Nov 5 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. See more Jade V Jan 20 An absolutely traumatizing end! The film took a total turn from suspense thriller 2 supernatural horror 2 where u are like is this really happening like oh my goodness. I think it sucks that the folks have to face the backlash of their decisions to protect their offspring only for some demented strangers to take over and decide to be the decider of a proper punishment. Being able to do nothing about it as they are stuck trying to find their own way to their daughter while navigating their own reality is twisted trauma. The audience is left holding their breadth at everything unfolding at once on a phone call that seems endless & agonizing. We r trying to process the mind boggling plot if it just became a fable of its own is insane writing. Very well executed. 10/10 intensity. It went from logic & ethics being tested to simple fear of nothing is under control. The ending is sour, blunt, & bitter befitting the crime. U face the deed with shock as its a swift end before u can even gasp. See more Lorrie L @LDL77 Jan 19 Not what you expect the entire time! Very good! See more Mitchell G. @mitch1guthrie Jan 18 For anyone confused or annoyed by the “they just imagined the calls” interpretation, in have an explanation/interpretation that actually fits the movie: it's is a folklore/fairy story. The film draws on medieval fairy lore i.e. forest beings who steal people (especially young women and unborn children) and use “glamour” or changeling swaps. In this movie, the “Kind Woman” isn’t human. She learns what happened from Alice and her parents, then transfers Alice’s likeness onto the dead girl, creating the “Alice body” the parents find. That’s the punishment, the parents plot a cover-up, so they lose Alice forever. Alice and her unborn child are abducted into the forest world. It’s classic fairy justice, symbolic, cruel, and disproportionate. The only loose end is in real life DNA/dental records would show the swap… unless the glamour affects more than just the parents. See more Tina N @Teena811 Jan 18 This was a waste of 1.5 hours. It started off being interesting but totally lost it 1/2 way through. The ending was horrible!! See more Read all reviews
