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.

I would never have thought that a film consisting mainly of two people riding in a car would have me at the edge of my seat, but the stellar performances of Rhys and Pike made the film seem like so much more than that. Riveting and suspenseful, the dilemma of these parents keeps getting deeper until the story reaches its crazy conclusion. The ending does leave a little for the imagination but I didn't mind that. I enjoy films that give us a little license to draw our own conclusions.

This movie was recommended by the online gods to stream. It was throughly boring and painful. I could walk away from the movie and it was the same scene after I returned. Even Waterworld had some scene changes. I will never trust a suggestion again from certain sites.
