Juliette’s back story is a story of taming something and not being able to keep control of it. That tough-as-nails deadpan character displays little emotion other than anger or the ability to take some knocks. The lead Juliette ( Brittany Ashworth) reminded me of the performance given by Sophie Skelton in Day of the Dead: Bloodline (2018). This isn’t a terrible movie but it is certainly not fast-paced. I like action mixed in with these themes. I like monsters in the dark and I like post-apocalyptic movies. The synopsis reads of post-apocalyptic survival and features action sequences and monsters in the dark.
The Hostile movie poster shows a woman stuck in what looks like a box or a hiding place. Not only that but she’s trapped and fighting against the elements with something that emerges only in the dark of night. Juliette is a lone survivor of an apocalypse. But sometimes it’s best to not sell it all dressed up like an action-driven horror when it’s not. Audiences get an idea of what to expect if they spend an hour or so watching a film. It’s supposed to showcase your narrative to potential viewers.
Advertising, posters, and even movie trailers sell you a concept. There really isn’t anything hostile about it. I love interesting horror movies, but when I watched Hostile 2017, I felt duped.
