Hallow Road

"Hallow Road" (2025) is a supernatural horror film about four friends haunted by an urban legend on a remote road. The cast is diverse (white lead Madelaine Petsch, Black actor Quincy Isaiah, Lebanese-Australian Claudia Doumit, Pacific Islander Qawine Afoa), reflecting modern Hollywood norms. However, trailers and synopses show no progressive political messaging, social justice themes, or identity politics; the focus is purely on scares and survival, prioritizing storytelling over inclusion agendas. Minimal woke elements beyond incidental diversity.
