Hallow Road15

Directed by Babak Anvari | Ireland/UK | 2025 | 1h 20m | Starring Rosamund Pike, Matthew Rhys, Megan McDonnell, Paul Tylak, Stephen Jones

When a couple receives a frantic late-night call from their teenage daughter, saying she has accidentally hit a pedestrian, they jump in the car and race to reach the scene before anyone else. As the night unfolds, buried secrets come to light and rising tensions threaten to tear the family apart. Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys star in this gripping psychological thriller from BAFTA Award-winning British-Iranian director Babak Anvari (Under the Shadow), a chilling look at moral compromise and the instincts that drive us.

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

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
