The Hallow, though not without its accomplishments, is little more than another horror movie that mistakes handheld camera and rapid-fire edits for tension. It wears its influences on its sleeve more often than is healthy and fails to deliver any sort of innovative twist on the genre or the story it’s telling. Even as a straightforward monster movie it fails to thrill, thanks to bland creature designs and the lack of any sympathetic characters.
Directed by Corin Hardy, The Hallow is the story of the Hitchens, Adam (Joseph Mawle) and Clare (Bojana Novakovic) , who move to a secluded house in Ireland only to find themselves terrorized by a local man named Colm (Michael McElhatton) and the creatures that live in the woods. We don’t really get any context to why they’re living there or why Colm seems hellbent on terrorizing them. In fact, the only way we’d pick up most of these tidbits is from reading a plot synopsis, which is something I actually liked about the movie: it’s commitment to story subtlety.
