The Hallow

I'd love to see more horror films by Corin Hardy, for while this is ultimately a bit too weak in the plot department, the mood and the special effects are terrific.

The creature effects are visually impressive and I'd recommend a watch to any horror fan for that reason alone. And by that, I do really mean "and that reason alone," as there really aren't any reasons to recommend this. The story is a mess, tension is lacking, and the director employs one of my most-hated techniques of all time--the obviously (CG) animated monster-virus-kills-a-normal-cell-under-a-microscope scene. Fuck you, science.

Not a bad one, but I found it a little slow.

A couple of refreshing twists on horror movie conventions and a few scary moments, as well as an almost plausible explanation that wasn't actually needed, make this a worthwhile watch.

An interesting take on the fae myths of Ireland. It's nice to watch something so home-grown, though the Garda was a bit too competent to be believed. An interesting story, and tragic in the way the myths are! I had a lot of affection for this film.Watch the credits through!

Creature effects are great and reminiscent of The Descent

Great creature special effects in a terrible movie

Same old same old when it comes to horror movies about threats to the nuclear family, but apart from a couple of scenes that look far too much like greenscreen stages, it has a great feel and look, and intriguing monsters that deserve a more interesting plot.

A little hallow, but The Woods (2015) was a more thrilling experience then most recent horrors. The forest creatures and how they destroy was a welcome way of zombifying someone. More organic.

Another one in the straight to "dvd" basket. It wasn't that bad but it could have been much better if the plot wasn't so thin!

Increasingly incomprehensible plot aside it looks fantastic
