We Got This Covered
The Hallow is a damn fine horror movie. So many contemporary horror directors screw things up with too much CGI, reliance on loud things going “BOO” and poor characterization. Not so here: Hardy serving up a marvellous creature design, a tightly focussed script, great location shooting and a rock-solid classical horror sensibility that pays off gangbusters. It feels like a future cult classic – see it and tell your friends about it.
Corin Hardy: "I’m more of a fan of classic cinema that looks and sounds and satisfies well. And I just wanted to try and make something which was as close to what I grew up watching and wanted to see at the cinema. Which is an experience which takes you away from your own mundane life"

Every parent's worst nightmare comes true when strange noises from the baby monitor become horrific in this clip from the atmospheric horror.
Bloody-Disgusting: "At the intro to his midnight premiere of The Hallow, director Corin Hardy called it a grounded, dark fairy tale. It is that but it’s so much more too. It’s also a creature feature, a siege movie, possession and body horror. It serves all five and now makes me really happy Hardy is doing The Crow."
Surprising horror film for once. Never been surprised since the Babadook
Yay, seeing this next week, it looked okay but after this review i'm stoked.
