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

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.

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.

4/5

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.

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.

You’re better off just watching an episode of The Twilight Zone. This feels like a weak imitation of the genre and completely fails. The dialogue in the car is painfully forced—just filler to stretch the runtime. This is about as bad as it gets.

Theatrical but Tense (12,358 – 27 Mar 2026) Maddie and her husband Frank,receive a phone call from their daughter Alice saying that she accidentally hit a teenager on the Hallow Road. They drive to meet Alice, and Maddie instructs her daughter to do CPR. Frank wants to protect her daughter, assuming the hit. Alice sees a car and believes it is her parents. But it is a couple that realizes that she is drugged. Alice’s arguments are very shallow, since she stole Frank’s car after a discussion with her parents; head to the Hallow Road; used drugs; and hit the teenager, and the woman is resolute to call the police. "Hallow Road" (2025) is a theatrical and tense thriller based on the performance of Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys, and basically only one scenario, the interior of Maddie’s car. It is amazing the bad decisions taken by Frank wanting to protect his daughter. My vote is six, Title (Brazil): "Hallow Road: Caminho Sem Volta" ("Hallow Road: Way without Return")
