Hallow Road (2025)

Following an argument and fleeing the house after telling her parents she is pregnant, eighteen-year-old Alice calls her mom, Maddie, in a panic during the night; she has struck a girl on remote Hallow Road. Alice claims she has already called an ambulance. As Maddie and her husband Frank race to reach her, Maddie, a paramedic, coaches her through CPR until Alice insists she has crushed the girl’s chest.

During the call, Alice admits she is high on MDMA and never actually called emergency services. Frank vows to take the blame as Alice was driving his car. Alice then reports another car approaching. At Frank’s urging, she drags the body into the undergrowth, only to panic that the girl’s face is “changing.” A strange woman appears, claiming she and her husband are out driving and offering help. Her tone shifts from gentle to intrusive and threatening as she refuses to leave Alice alone.

When Alice tries to flee, Maddie and Frank hear the woman smash the quarter glass of the car. The woman insists the girl Alice hit is alive and with her husband, pressures the family for explanations. Frank confesses he planned to take responsibility, which seems to satisfy her. Maddie, shaken, admits she recently quit her paramedic job after misdiagnosing a fatal pulmonary embolism. Alice decides she will own up to her actions.

When Maddie and Frank finally reach Hallow Road, Alice and the couple are gone. A body lies in the brush. Frank examines it and returns with the devastating claim that it is Alice. Maddie refuses to accept it and calls Alice’s phone, only for Alice to answer, sounding kidnapped. The woman taunts them, declaring that she and her husband “correct” girls like Alice through a rectification process and will do the same to her unborn child. The call ends as police block the road.

By morning, officers treat the corpse —apparently Alice— as the victim of a hit‑and‑run. Detectives conclude that Maddie and Frank’s belief they spoke to Alice afterward is a trauma‑induced delusion, leaving the couple silent and shattered.
