Hostile (2018)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

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.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I admit that this film's horror/sci-fi genre is not one that interests me these days and the only reason I watched this movie was because Gregory Fittoussi was in it. (He won an award for this role). Living in UK this did not come to local cinema's so I had to wait till released in streaming media. Genre has more appeal to my husband so we watched together. Juliette is trying to find food for group in post-apocalyptic American, landscape is arid and desserted. Due to the presence of mutant humaniods she has to return to base before dusk. A photo of her with a man is stuck to the visor in her vechicle. The film osocilates between Juliette's present dilemma of returning to base and her pre-apocalyptic, past relationship with Jack, a rich French art gallery owner living in New York. Watching it, I became involved with Juliette's dilemma and with her relationship with Jack, who looked passed the ugliness of Juliette's life to see the beauty within her. Without spoiling it, I just want to say the ending haunted me long after the credits had rolled. My husband also enjoyed this movie terming it 'diffierent' which in his case means 'not formulaic.' This movie deserved a wider release I hope it now finds it.

Firstly, most of the films free on youtube are crap. This film I watched on youtube and I knew it was gonna be crap after the first 15 minutes however the girlfriend insisted on watching it... and then at the end said it was crap too.It's one of these films that tries to be unique and interesting. It fails.A woman fighting off a freak, with flashblacks of her past.. both of which she screams and makes too much noise. The ending is just silly.. umm.. and is just silly.

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.

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.
