Hostile: Directed by Mathieu Turi. With Brittany Ashworth, Grégory Fitoussi, Javier Botet, Jay Benedict. Juliette, a lone survivor of an apocalyptic era, fights to survive against hunger, thirst, a broken leg and strange, disturbing creatures that only come out at nighttime.

“This post-apocalyptic love story could have been very good, even great, had it not been for the jarring back-and-forth jumping between two different timelines.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe main plot-line finds our heroine injured and alone in a barren, zombie-infested no-manu0026#39;s land, hunted by a spindly creature with a bad skin condition. This situation could have been a nerve-wracking viewing experience, had the director not decided to splice scenes of her u0026quot;life beforeu0026quot; throughout the full run-time of the movie. This breaks the tension EVERY TIME, in both narratives.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you want to tell a backstory, just tell it and get it over with! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting, music and cinematography was adequate.”
