Cert: 15A

Hallow Road

Shortly after 2am, paramedic Maddie Finch receives a panicked telephone call from her 18-year-old daughter Alice, who hasn't returned home after a heated argument that ended with the teenager storming out of the house and stealing her father's car. 

Maddie learns that her daughter has been involved in a hit-and-run on Hallow Road and a young girl now lies motionless on the asphalt. Maddie jumps into her car with husband Frank in the driver's seat. They race to the scene hoping to get there before anyone else stumbles across the accident site. As they drive, disturbing revelations threaten to tear the family apart as they soon realise they might not be the only ones driving down Hallow Road

‘Despite its vaguely-generic title, this well-crafted close-quarters suspense from British-Iranian director Babak Anvari is firmly-written, -shot and -acted.’

Fionnuala Halligan, Screen International

‘Few so economical features – 80 minutes, with only three significant characters – have had such unsettling fun in the dark, dark woods. Don’t let it slip you by.’

Donald Clark, The Irish Times
