Anton Bitel Sight & Sound Nov 7, 2017
Beautifully shot by Vincent Vieillard-Baron with two very different lighting schemes (richly coloured past, arid present), this is a strange coupling of romance & horror... climactic confrontation between heroine & monster is both surprising & moving Go to Full Review

Fer Chrissakes, where were the producers whose job it is to steer a director away from such pretentious narrative cliffs? Go to Full Review

Quiet and well thought-out, Hostile is a new and interesting entry into the post-apocalypse story. Go to Full Review

7/10
There is a touching climax to the film ... a rarity in a movie that also features monstrosities roaming the desert like extras in The Descent, so worth sticking with for the duration. Go to Full Review

Albus S Apr 16, 2019 Poor man's Bradley Cooper and the poor woman's Demi Moore in neurotic Pretty Woman remake in post-apocalyptic desert style Alien flick. There are moments that are downright absurd but the production value and editing are both really good. If you've seen this, imagine it with a low budget in the 80s...it would be on par with Krull and that host of post-apocalyptic movies that took place in the desert. I. Just saying that on paper, without the budget and effects and production, this thing is absolutely absurd. No offense to those involved but how do movies like this get the green light. There's no way somebody involved didn't have connections or a very rich family. Watch it. Seriously. Your mind will be blown that this somehow went from a scribbled short story to where someone invested a boatload of money into making it happen. We are truly living in confused but magical times.

Apr 14, 2019 Surprise find on Amazon. Enjoyed the suspense & back story. Creatures were well done & unique.
George M Mar 6, 2019 Acting as bad as 50 shades, a protagonist more boring than Bella Swan, cute computer graphics, and as cliche as heck with zero scare factor. Couldn't get enough of The Room? Then you've come to the right place! This is just awful. 50% of the movie is flashbacks, the flashbacks are cringey as heck. A handsome cultured Frenchman who feels out of his place in his lavish New York apartment/art gallery-owning lifestyle strikes up a relationship with a sad drug dealer who he feels he must save. The actual 'thriller' bits are boring and not scary at all. The desert scene is dry.. But the plot more so.somehow manage to be even MORE ridiculous. See more
Anakin M Feb 6, 2019 Although it started alright and I quite liked the backstory, the end made no sense. It seemed that some of the backstory were missing to keep in line and give an understanding of the ending. See more
Albus Jan 6, 2019 I was going to write a review but decided to shoot me and my zombie partner in the head because we're hopeless romantics with a massively gay budget. See more
Nov 2, 2018 What a waste of time. Pointless and unnecessary back story's. The evil creatures have good effect but the relentless chopping to the back story's ruins the film. Really good twist at the end that bought the review the 2.5 stars. So many unanswered questions. Avoid if looking for thriller. See more
