Hallow Road Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Ward
July 1, 2025
Loved this. A twisty, contained thriller that takes place almost entirely in a car with Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys trying desperately to get to their daughter who’s been in a car accident on Hallow Road. Pike and Rhys are so good and so believable and their performances are made up entirely of conversations on the phone with their daughter and in the car with each other. Definitely feel some of the Celtic/UK lore inspirations (missing children, mythic forests, etc.) Not the most interesting film visually, but I had an absolute blast with it. Highly recommend if you like contained thrillers.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
Babak Anvari is back in top form with Hallow Road.
Substream Magazine
Murjani Rawls
Despite worries, "Hallow Road" keeps things fresh - adding a different ingredient to the mix to keep the characters and the audience in shock and surprise.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys solidify the tension through believable performances while a late turn - a very late turn you may not pick up on - brings additional interpretations to ponder long after.
Variety
Siddhant Adlakha
Set almost entirely during an urgent car ride, "Hallow Road" begins as an intensely performed, deftly minimalist family thriller about two parents driving to the scene of their daughter's accident... before swerving in completely unpredictable ways.
Den of Geek
David Crow
More a dark fable than a traditional horror movie, Anvari uses the brutal high-concept of Hallow Road's setup and its structure to immerse the viewer and characters into water that's pitched at a boiling roar before we even have our bearings.
IndieWire
Ritesh Mehta
Unfortunately, the film never transcends its tone of ever-present and palpable danger to become a more satisfying character piece.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Hallow Road is an Irish co-production, and it shows both in theme and in quality.

Brian Tallerico
It's a terrifying journey into the night, a bit of folk horror about parents losing their grip on their daughter.
Collider
Matt Donato
Performances are the spectacle, and both actors do a tremendous job translating the worst feeling any parent can experience. It all depends on your patience for slow-burn horrors, and if there's enough nightmare fuel to stay along for the ride.
AV Club
Jacob Oller
A contained creeper whose goofy horror is driven by raw parental terror.
Awards Buzz
Abe Friedtanzer
The chilling nature of this film, which does include some brief moments of nervous laughter, lasts right up until its deliberately ambiguous end, meant to leave audiences with contradictory concepts to ponder.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
Hallow Road takes audiences on a brilliant emotional journey and steeps us in terror. The screenplay takes some predictable turns, but the performances and Anvari's direction are spectacular.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Essentially a two-hander, the movie might have been merely a minimalist exercise -- albeit an impressive one -- in mounting dread. But high-intensity performances from Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys elevate the suspenseful thriller.
Screen Rant
Mae Abdulbaki
The film is a compelling moral character study and a breathtaking thriller that steps on the gas and never lets up.
FandomWire
Sean Boelman
This film is perfect proof that strong atmosphere and great performances can take you a long way, as these elements elevate it from a simple genre exercise into something genuinely compelling and unsettling.
Dread Central
Mary Beth McAndrews
With his latest film Hallow Road, director Babak Anvari crafts the most upsetting film of 2025 so far.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Anvari's latest palpably captures the psychological intensity of its nightmarish scenario while honoring and modernizing the ancient oral traditions tied to its specific brand of horror. This grim tale sticks with you.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
James Preston Poole
Babak Anvari's single-vehicle, two-actor journey through darkness conjures up a suffocating discomfort that will require deep breaths afterward. Whether this dour ride into the forest goes to a satisfying destination, the ride is more than worth it.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
A provocative morality tale with a genre twist.
