Been there, done that.

Usually what I do is get a large screwdriver between the hose and the filter
and pry upwards.  Pulling on the hose will just stretch it tighter and make
it harder to come off.  Twisting also helps while prying upwards.

Oh, hopefully your relieved the pressure first?  Start the engine, pull the
fuel pump fuse and let the engine die.  There'll still be fuel in the line,
so have a rag or something handy or you'll have a small mess.
