A call in the middle of the night spurs a pair of parents to race out to find their daughter, who's calling them from the scene of car crash.

The film's lean premise is certainly enough to intrigue.

The gripping performances of Pike and Rhys combined with Babak Anvari 's ruthlessly riveting direction will have you gasping for air.

Out of its World Premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film and TV Festival, Hallow Road was swiftly gaining buzz among attendees and critics.

The gnarly turns in Gillies ' script came as a true surprise, giving this critic a rare rush of actually being caught off guard.

The anxiety of letting your kid out into the world becomes its own horror.
