Reviews

‘For all the ghouls and goblins that might be hiding deep in the woods around Hallow Road, there’s nothing nearly as frightening as passing the point of no return… It’s that feeling that pervades Babak Anvari’s sickeningly effective Hallow Road.’
★★★★
Clarisse Loughery, The Independent

‘This Hallow Road is paved with brilliant performances, a smart, unpredictable script, and tight, precise direction from Anvari. An unsettling ride worth taking. ’
★★★★
Amon Warmann, Empire Magazine
