Hostile 2018 Film – Plot

Juliette, a slim white woman, lives in a world where the apocalypse happened. Only a few people have remained in the city, and they are living together in a base. They connect with each other through the radio. The city is fully deserted as more than half of the city is destroyed by the mutant creatures called ‘reapers.

One day, Juliette leaves her base in quest of supplies. She is in a car, driving across the deserted city, gathering supplies for the survivors on base who are waiting for her return with enough food and water. When she sees a picture of her love while driving, a flashback to their first encounter occurs.

In Jack’s gallery a few years ago, Juliette and Jack had their first encounter. Because Juliette wanted to eat there for free but had no interest in art, she sneaked into the exhibition and pretended to be someone who enjoyed art and paintings. She runs into Jack while idly walking through an art museum.

Jack is a successful businessman and an artist. He asks Juliette some challenging questions to ascertain her interest in the arts and discovers that she is there for another reason and has no interest in painting.

Jack starts loving her personality and tells her that it is their destiny that they meet like this in the exhibition. He takes her home, but she again sneaks out, thinking there’s some problem with jack and she should not get into his home this early. One day, Jack follows her when he spots Juliette with an old man.

He gets to know that she is in need of money and involved in some undue means. He also gets to know that she is addicted to drugs a lot. When he tries to help her to get through the situation, she asks him to leave. But after some days, she gets beaten by the pimps, and then Juliette and Jack decide to leave the city. Apart from her daily life and drugs, Juliette lives a happy life with Jack and also gets pregnant.

When Juliette finally gives birth, Jack and Juliette discover the infant dead, which has a negative impact on Juliette’s mental health and causes her to start blaming Jack for the same. She begins using drugs once more, and when she enters the pub to buy a drink, Jack tries to phone her but is unsuccessful.

When she attempts to call him again after learning about the awful incident from the news, an unidentified caller answers and informs her that Jack was hurt in the city’s chemical attack. He is still alive when she meets him in the hospital. The following day, she discovers him vanishing, believing he is dead.

Getting out of the flashback, Juliette meets one person on the road. He is wounded because the mutant creature called reaper has already attacked him, but he somewhat manages to trap him in his vehicle. Juliette kills the creature and then finds the person dead. When she again starts driving, she gets on the wrong road and gets into an accident.

When she wakes up, she can’t find the road to get back to the base. So, she decides to stay wherever she is overnight. The creatures do not attack in the daylight and are scared of bright light and noise. However, at night they start killing people.

She feels secure in the morning because the reaper won’t harm her at this time, and at night, she already believes the reaper is dead. She discovers that the reaper is still alive when she awakens in the morning. She learns that the reaper is Jack, her love when he approaches her and strokes her face without attacking her.

All night long, Jack worked to keep her safe. He advised her once to recognize the beauty hidden behind the ugliness, and that’s why she remembers him. She can tell when she touches him that he is Jack hiding behind the hideous mutant creature’s face. She does not want to lose the love of her life again because she is aware that she did once.

Because of this, she chooses to die peacefully alongside Jack so that they might be united in the afterlife. In the end, she shoots both herself and Jack the reaper.
