Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 11/07/2017
Beautifully shot by Vincent Vieillard-Baron with two very different lighting schemes (richly coloured past, arid present), this is a strange coupling of romance & horror... climactic confrontation between heroine & monster is both surprising & moving Go to Full Review

Fer Chrissakes, where were the producers whose job it is to steer a director away from such pretentious narrative cliffs? Go to Full Review

Quiet and well thought-out, Hostile is a new and interesting entry into the post-apocalypse story. Go to Full Review

7/10
There is a touching climax to the film ... a rarity in a movie that also features monstrosities roaming the desert like extras in The Descent, so worth sticking with for the duration. Go to Full Review

Tiffany O Sep 14 Loved it. Been so long since I've enjoyed a story as much. Shocked it's not rated higher. See more Spike D Jun 28 All throughout the post-apocalyptic scenes I sat there internally screaming "please don't cut back to the god-awful love story, please don't cut back to the god-awful love story." Alas. See more May 13 Hostile is a little slow at times, but the last 10 minutes of the movie makes it all worth it. See more Angelica G Mar 12 A different way to show a romantic drama, horror, and sci-fi movie, all in one. I thought it was interesting how the bounced from “current day” to a post apocalyptic world, where survival from creatures and humans alike is a daily struggle. The ending actually broke my heart, but I thought it fitting. See more Tim V @Shadownomore Feb 28 Suspend your disbelief. It's a terms we hear a lot in regards to fiction and rightfully so. The problem with Hostile is there's only so much we can suspend our disbelief. The movie is set in an apocalypse featuring not quite vampire, but not quite zombie like creatures. Our heroine finds herself stranded and must survive the night, while in a secondary plot we learn of her life before the end of the world. Honestly, the story telling isn't horrible, if a bit cliche. The acting likewise is solid though not award winning. The real blow comes with the ending. I won't spoil it but the level of disbelief they expect you to look past is just not possible and it brings an unfortunate close to an otherwise solid, though average movie. Worth a watch if you enjoy movies like this, but don't expect to finish up satisfied. See more Paul O @pjkeys Jan 27 I quit watching this movie about half way through as I thought I was going to watch a sci fi movie that seemed to spend too much time on a love story. I decided to finish watching until the end the next day and the movie turned out to be pretty good. The love story was touching and typical fantasy porn that chicks love. I guessed the main parts of the ending at about the half way point, but it was still touching. I just can't figure out how many people died. See more Read all reviews
