The Hallow

...en helt klart godkänd skräckfilm som funkar vilken lördagkväll som helst.

The Hallow does its job well enough to get by. No new ground is broken, but the point of folklore is to tell the old tales again.

The film is most effective when it explores the idea of crass environmental insensitivity and nature’s revenge.

Many of the best attack scenes combine the precision of high-quality M. Night Shymalan-style jump scares, and Lucio Fulci-style gore effects.

At its heart The Hallow is a fable about ancient creatures updated for the modern era.
