Hallow Road

Hallow Road (2025) is a British-Irish thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Babak Anvari, whose earlier work — Under Shadow and Wounds — showed a precise talent for making ordinary situations feel irreversibly wrong. This time the engine is a late-night phone call: a daughter tells her parents she hit someone on a forest road, and now they're driving through the dark to reach her.

Alice had left a family dinner mid-argument, which means the events leading up to the accident are already loaded. As Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys race toward her, the film parcels out what actually happened — through fragmented calls, instinctive cover-ups, and decisions made in seconds that everyone will have to live with. The horror here isn't the accident itself. It's watching a family negotiate guilt in real time, each member operating on a slightly different version of loyalty.

Pike carries most of the weight, and the tension between her character's maternal reflex and the colder calculations running underneath it is where the film does its best work. Stream Hallow Road (2025) on iFILM.
