Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 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 Nov 7, 2017 Full Review CJ Sheu Critics at Large [T]he melodramatic direction, tone-deaf dialogue, predictable plot, and overly intellectual transitions caused me to check out, mentally[.] Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Joshua Speiser Film Threat Fer Chrissakes, where were the producers whose job it is to steer a director away from such pretentious narrative cliffs? Rated: 5/10 Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Quiet and well thought-out, Hostile is a new and interesting entry into the post-apocalypse story. Rated: 4/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review John Higgins Starburst 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.

Angelica G 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Tim V 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Paul O 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review chip w I really enjoyed this movie. Glad I didn't read anything about it. The ending was a complete surprise to me. I recommend it! 👌 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Craig B Hostile is an absolute gem of a horror story, with equal measures of horror and heart. Driven by an outstanding performance from lead Brittany Ashworth, there are many moments of tension and sheer terror in the film's short duration of 83 minutes. One of the keys to the film are the constant flashbacks to pre-apocalyptic times (which feature tremendous support from Grégory Fitoussi, who plays Jack), which provides an interesting contrast with the horrors Juliette endures in the present. Not be missed by horror fans, especially those who enjoy a film with a solid and well-formed backstory which has plenty of heart. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Breno G Special Effects: 0,5/Sound Effects: 0,5/Acting: 0,0/Story: 0,0 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
