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.

Honestly I feel like I wasted my time, it was going somewhat well, and the ending could have been 10 times better than what they gave. Like that’s it? Alice is nowhere to be found? That other lady who was talking to Alice in the car is also not found?Their acting was great! No doubt no that but the concept on the movie should have been better! I mean Alice goes into the woods then what?? Like it had no context whatsoever, it would have made sense if maybe that mysterious lady who Alice was talking to had a revenge agenda with Alice’s mom. Like it’s not worth to watch this and I don’t even understand how it got a rating of 88% on rotten tomatoes!!!!! Hope my review was helpful;)

It has the idea and the actors, but it needs to do something truly unexpected with it rather than relying on a big twist

Unbelievably well done. So simple and small and tense. Loved the turns, loved the pain. The criticisms are puzzling and under thought out with little quips witticisms that make me cringe. After reading critics and audience alike misunderstand what seemed pretty plainly yet tastefully rendered, if a movie like this can't be appreciated, I'm honestly a little worried about the future.

Media literacy is at an all-time low. Calling this a cliffhanger or claiming it had no conclusion only demonstrates a failure to engage with what the film was actually doing. The ending is intentionally ambiguous, but it absolutely resolves the central story. It presents itself as a supernatural thriller, only to reveal that the real horror is something much more ordinary and heartbreaking.
