s3276169 I saw the short for this film and have been hanging out for it for a while. I had expected a survivalist horror, with lots of gnashing teeth and action. Indeed there is an element of that but what I hadn't expected, was a deeply sad love story. This is in many ways a simple film. It uses basic settings combined with a cinematic ploy I'm not fond of cutting, between past and present segments. That said, in the context of this film, it works very very effectively bringing together the final scenes in a very poignant and touching manner. I think the writers, director and actors, are to be congratulated. What has been achieved here is very different and very clever. More than that, its engaging and inherently watchable. I have to confess I had worked out what was going on about two thirds of the way through but that in no way diminished the emotion of the final scene when it arrived. A very special little film, that does remarkable things, with a limited budget. 8/10 from me.

bader-alrayyes The movie is good, fun and will grab all your attention, but the end is little bit odd and just (over dramatic) and raises a lot of hows and 'would it be better if,,' questions, the writers could choose another interesting end instead of this one. however, the rest of the movie is fine.

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.

cdcrb Probably a masterpiece. a morality "western". in the 1880's, a soldier, with a very violent and clear conscience, is about to be discharged. as his last assignment, he is charged with taking a group of Indians back to montana. along the way he meets violence and his past. you really need to just get into the movie. let it take you on its journey.
