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.

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.

What starts as quite an interesting premise, and basically shot in one location, with some genuine suspense devolves into the ridiculous at startling pace. Even the solid performances of the leads cannot salvage the freefall. Its a shame they took such a wrong turn

The biggest challenge for a screenwriter is to come up with a great idea and bring it to a convincing conclusion. This is not the case with *Hallow Road*, which suffers from what’s known as "Lost Syndrome"—or, to put it another way, a rushed, half-baked ending.

Absolutely no character development watching this left me with all the questions and no answers it’s just two people driving on a 39 minute drive that lasted 90 min with nothing in it for the viewer
