The Hallow
2015 · TMDB 5.7
Directed by Corin Hardy
Deep within the darkness of secluded forest land in rural Ireland dwells an ancient evil. Feared by the nearby superstitious villagers as cursed creatures who prey upon the lost, their secrets have been kept from civilization and remain on their hallowed ground. But when a conservationist from London moves in with his wife and infant child in order to survey the land for future construction, his actions unwittingly disturb the horde of demonic forces. Alone in a remote wilderness, he must now ensure his family's survival from their relentless attacks.
Why it matters
Corin Hardy's debut traps a young family in an Irish forest where the folk creatures are practical, wet and genuinely threatening. It is a calling-card film, made on a small budget with a clear sense of what Hardy wanted to do next.
