Hostile (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 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 Nov 7, 2017 Full Review Hostile (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) CJ Sheu Critics at Large [T]he melodramatic direction, tone-deaf dialogue, predictable plot, and overly intellectual transitions caused me to check out, mentally[.] Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Hostile (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Joshua Speiser Film Threat Fer Chrissakes, where were the producers whose job it is to steer a director away from such pretentious narrative cliffs? Rated: 5/10 Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Hostile (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Kat Hughes THN Quiet and well thought-out, Hostile is a new and interesting entry into the post-apocalypse story. Rated: 4/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Hostile (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) John Higgins Starburst 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.

chip w I really enjoyed this movie. Glad I didn't read anything about it. The ending was a complete surprise to me. I recommend it! 👌 Rated 4/5 Stars ‱ Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Craig B Hostile is an absolute gem of a horror story, with equal measures of horror and heart. Driven by an outstanding performance from lead Brittany Ashworth, there are many moments of tension and sheer terror in the film's short duration of 83 minutes. One of the keys to the film are the constant flashbacks to pre-apocalyptic times (which feature tremendous support from GrĂ©gory Fitoussi, who plays Jack), which provides an interesting contrast with the horrors Juliette endures in the present. Not be missed by horror fans, especially those who enjoy a film with a solid and well-formed backstory which has plenty of heart. Rated 4/5 Stars ‱ Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Breno G Special Effects: 0,5/Sound Effects: 0,5/Acting: 0,0/Story: 0,0 Rated 1/5 Stars ‱ Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Dan J Interesting idea, but poorly executed.All the two lead characters did was argue throughout. Poorly written with terrible dialogue.Worth a watch if there's nothing else on, if just to see a different spin on a post apocalyptic film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars ‱ Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Ronald M It's an ok little movie but it doesn't have a lot to it. It tries to do the fate/destiny thing but falls short of being any kind of profound
 If it was fate then the point of their lives and deaths was to be completely pointless. With that failing all we are left with is a story of a girl surviving a night. The threat of the monsters did not justify the reactions of the people she talked to on the radio. They were mildly dangerous, but the human than attacked her was a much bigger threat so why did they worry about the monsters. Rated 2.5/5 Stars ‱ Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/22 Full Review sam s 7/10.Bom filme de suspense. A historia Ă© boa e as personagem Ă© bem desenvolvida, mas o final funciona com base em uma coincidĂȘncia absurda sĂł para fins dramĂĄticos.Good suspense movie. The story is good and the characters are well developed, but the ending works on the basis of an absurd coincidence only for dramatic purposes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars ‱ Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
