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

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.

Rated: 3/4

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

Common Sense Media

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.

Rated: 4/5

Spectrum Culture

An eerie film with a ghostly atmosphere that can be interpreted many different ways, where every possible scenario is a nightmare.

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.

Yes, it primarily takes place all in the car, but the acting is superb.

Hallow Road is an intense edge of your seat thriller that is split into two different genres. The first half of the film is a psychological thriller and the second half is a supernatural horror. Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys give awesome performances in this one and that third act and ending is a twist you won't soon forget!

Annoying acting with no resolution in the ending.

A slow burn that demands to be fully embraced. With gentle hints of a parental relationship — fragile, complex, and raw — Hallow Road quietly draws you in. It wills you to push down on the accelerator as the father drives, a physical echo of the emotional tension simmering beneath the surface. The film plays with your mind in subtle, unnerving ways, especially in its closing moments — leaving you questioning what is real and what isn’t.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
