Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
julyanstephens I love a good post apocalyptic thriller so I was looking forward to this one. It starts really well, and then quickly becomes odd, then frustrating, then just plain eye-roll worthy. The entire movie jumps back and forward between timelines but does so in a way that feels very jarring. The entire relationship between the two leads felt unrealistic... so many plot points and character decisions just became too much of a stretch for me. I can suspend my disbelief to a certain point but c'mon guys... I really wanted to like it, it was shot beautifully, the creatures were genuinely creepy, and it had potential. Points for originality, I definitely wasn't expecting what I saw (though I did call the 'twist' about 20 minutes before it happened). The message that the writer tries to leave us with is a nice one but feels out of place in this genre and left me with too many questions.
ecolgrave Just seen this masterpiece, it's incredible writing & directing. The Plot reveals the struggles of Jack & Juliet. Portrayed superby by Gregory & Brittany, who keeping us intrigued to the heart wrenching end.
Movie-Inspector I can't tell too much, because it would spoil the movie. Hostile got two levels of storytelling, (two different timelines), one is a personal drama between a couple and the other a survival drama in a post-apocalyptic world.Both parts are well played and acted and produced but imo the "mix" does not work out at all. The editing between those switches is very unnerving and tbh I did not like the idea much. Both parts felt somehow alien to each other and did not work together (of course my opinion). Also the end, well, felt forced and somehow plain boring to me.The personal drama story-line I rate 5, the apocalyptic part also, but together I only can give a 3. The story told somehow just didn't add up to nothing, and poetry, symbolism or whatever the director wanted to create, was imo a big failure - the director should have made two movies instead this one or choose one of the story-lines to make a movie. All in all the movie will not deliver much satisfaction to a "serious" audience and the lover of post-apocalyptic movies will also be unsatisfied.Also the girl should learn to shoot or get a bazooka ;)
dustin_pryor-02848 The apocalypse happened. "How" morphs itself into "What Now?"Behind a plethora of sweeping landscape shots depicting the years following an apocalyptic event, Mathieu Turi's feature debut Hostile gives us the story of Juliette (Brittany Ashworth) and her struggle to survive.Sounds cliche, right?Wrong. It took a while to digest this film as initially I had written it off as "just another post-apocalyptic film." Let's face it, there are so many in this genre.The film centers around Juliette and her struggle to stay alive following a debilitating car accident while on a scavenging mission. She must not only survive the barrenness of nature while badly injured, but a threat far more sinister.We're offered abbreviated glimpses into her life pre-apocalypse as she longs for the days before everything went sideways. During these sequences is when Ashworth really gives a believable depth to her character. There's a palpable honesty in her interaction with the people in her previous life's sphere - most notably the sophisticated and charming Jack (Gregory Fitoussi).Juliette's memories throughout the film not only to provide a contrast to her current situation but also provide a good break in the inescapable dread of being surrounded by unknown dangers.The tension in the film is abundant and while the idea of the damsel Juliette needing to be saved borders on tongue-in-cheek, the climactic confrontation is equal parts tense and emotional.
