Hallow RoadApril 16, 2026 It tries to be a deep and suspenseful mumblecore movie, but it doesn't have the quality needed for it.
For such a movie to work, the script need to be basically perfect (which this is absolutely not) and the acting needs to be extremely good too. And to be honest, for Rosamund Pike standards, the acting is pretty good. Actually it's basically the best part of the movie. But it's not nearly enough of the quality needed.
The writing is the worst part and is what basically ruins the movie. If you look at any other mumblecore movie you will notice that the story is very focused. It is needed to really get you invested. But since this is more of a Hollywood flick, the story tries to reel in as much people as possible and hence it's a bit of all over the place.
So the movie ends up being disappointing, but I will say that it managed to be pretty suspenseful at times, hence the okay score.
