The Plot…

Late one Halloween night Frank and Maddie Finch get a call from their eighteen year old daughter Alice.  Alice, driving on a remote forest road struck a girl.  Alice said the ambulance is going to take a long time to get to them because she is so deep in the forest.  Frank and Maddie jump in their car.  Maddie is a paramedic and they are only 30 minutes away.

As they drive to the site of the wreck Frank and Maddie keep talking to Alice… but Alice’s story keeps changing… and getting worse.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Hallow Road feels like a play.  Most of the action takes place in the front seat of the car with Frank and Maddie talking to Alice.  Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys acting along with William Gillies screenplay keep us interested.  Unfortunately the payoff isn’t as good as the journey.

Hallow Road  (2025) rates 3 of 5 stars.
