A family is forced to fight demonic creatures for survival after they move into a remote millhouse in Ireland.

Critics Consensus

Drenched in dark atmosphere and bolstered with some real emotion underneath all the chills, The Hallow suggests a wonderfully horrifying future for director Corin Hardy.

By the time The Hallow builds to its breathtakingly personal climax, it's hard not to be impressed by what Hardy has accomplished.

Rated: 3/4

Irish Times

The Hallow promises to be an Irish mythological horror, replete with wee folk and banshees. Unhappily, it merely namechecks these entities and delivers nothing of the sort.

Rated: 2/5

This ecologically themed horror movie scores points for atmosphere and imagination, though it isn't particularly scary. The characters are little more than ciphers, so I wasn't inclined to root for them when they got into trouble.

It definitely had me hooked and I think if you guys like a little action-packed, monster folktales this one is for you.

Rated: 7/10

While The Hallow indeed captures a certain ambience lost in many glossy, effects laden contemporary horror films, it's a monster movie without any teeth.

An atmospheric haunted-house fright tale involving paranormal activities, ecological themes, folklore tales and lots of scares.

Rated: B

Slow and soggy, nothing you can be afraid of, no one you can root for… a bit of a fail on all accounts.

Great building sense of menace that lapsed into silliness later on. Bearable

I found this movie very entertaining and so so creepy. So wish there was a sequel because the ending was a perfect seqway to have one.

Forgettable, predictable, and just not a very good movie... the special effects were okay and the acting was decent, but the story itself wasn't compelling and the character development was non existent.. do yourself a favor and find something better.

This was a wonderful take on all the Fair Folk legends and myths of Britain and Ireland, not to mention the visual effects! Definitely a must see if you are a fan of sci fi and fairy tales both.
