UK Trailer and Release Date Revealed for HALLOW ROAD, a Tense Thriller from BAFTA Winner Babak Anvari

A FILM BY BABAK ANVARI (Under The Shadow)

STARRING: ROSAMUND PIKE (Gone Girl, Saltburn), MATTHEW RHYS (The Americans, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), and MEGAN MCDONNELL (Normal People, Blackshore)

IN UK CINEMAS FROM 16 MAY 2025

The official UK trailer and the announcement of the theatrical release date for HALLOW ROAD, a gripping, high-stakes thriller from BAFTA award-winning director Babak Anvari was released today.

Starring Oscar® nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and Emmy® winner Matthew Rhys (The Americans), the film promises a nerve-racking cinematic experience that will leave audiences breathless.

At the heart of HALLOW ROAD lies a single, chilling phone call: two parents are jolted awake in the dead of night by their teenage daughter, who tearfully confesses to hitting a pedestrian. Fearing the worst and desperate to protect their child, the couple speeds into the night, determined to reach the scene before anyone else. But as the miles tick by and tensions rise, long-buried secrets begin to surface — and it becomes terrifyingly clear that they may not be the only ones driving down Hallow Road.

A claustrophobic blend of psychological suspense, road-movie tension, and emotionally charged family drama, HALLOW ROAD delivers a taut, atmospheric ride that plays out almost entirely within the confines of a single car. With its minimalist setting and escalating sense of dread, the film masterfully turns a simple drive into a deeply unsettling journey through guilt, denial, and the limits of parental instinct.

Directed by Babak Anvari, known for his work on Under the Shadow and Wounds, the film is poised to captivate audiences with its haunting tone, intimate performances, and razor-sharp storytelling.

HALLOW ROAD is set to hit UK cinemas [insert release date if known], and with today’s trailer release, anticipation is already building for what promises to be one of the year’s most compelling psychological thrillers.

Following its premiere at SXSW earlier this year, HALLOW ROAD has garnered rave reviews and an enviable 95% Rotten Tomatoes score.

HALLOW ROAD WILL BE RELEASED IN UK CINEMAS FROM 16 MAY 2025
