Hallow Road Interview: Why Rosamund Pike & Matthew Rhys' New Thriller Had a "Trauma Booth" on Set

Under normal circumstances, a film like Hallow Road, which is primarily set in a moving car, could be a less-than-compelling setting for a movie, but director Babak Anvari (Under the Shadow) proved that nothing can be quite as intense as a couple driving to rescue a family member in peril. Starring Matthew Rhys (The Americans) and Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), the film follows two parents experiencing the worst night of their lives after receiving a distressing phone call from their teenage daughter (Megan McDonnell), who's been in a terrible car accident. As they race to the scene, it appears they may not be alone on Hallow Road, putting their family in a dire situation. Hallow Road celebrated its World Premiere at SXSW 2025, where Anvari and Rhys stopped by the Collider Media Studio at the Cinema Center to chat with Perri Nemiroff about their tense psychological thriller. They discuss creative filming techniques for a minimal set, tapping into raw and vulnerable emotions, utilizing The Volume, and more. #interview #rosamundpike #thriller #sxsw #indiefilm For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
