Rosamund Pike's "completely unpredictable" British thriller has landed a new streaming home in the UK. Hallow Road is available to watch on Sky Cinema and with a Cinema membership on NOW - because it wouldn't be Christmas without some family drama.
The movie follows Maddie and Frank, two parents who rush to help their daughter Alice after she accidentally hits a pedestrian in the middle of the night.
While they race to the scene to do some damage control, paramedic Maddie talks a panicking Alice through CPR over the phone. However, they soon learn of another sinister presence nearby.
Dark family secrets come to light as the couple desperately try to protect their daughter. But will they get to her in time?
Hallow Road is directed by Babak Anvari and stars Pike and Matthew Rhys as the terrified parents, opposite Megan McDonnell who plays Alice.

"Set almost entirely during an urgent car ride, Hallow Road begins as an intensely performed, deftly minimalist family thriller about two parents driving to the scene of their daughter's accident... before swerving in completely unpredictable ways," noted Variety.
"This Hallow Road is paved with brilliant performances, a smart, unpredictable script, and tight, precise direction from Anvari," wrote Empire. "An unsettling ride worth taking."
Bloody Disgusting added: "Anvari's latest palpably captures the psychological intensity of its nightmarish scenario while honouring and modernising the ancient oral traditions tied to its specific brand of horror. This grim tale sticks with you."
Hallow Road is available to watch on Sky Cinema and with a Cinema membership on NOW.
