The Hallow

Adam Hitchens, a conservationist from London, moves with his wife Clare and their infant son Finn to a remote house in rural Ireland so he can survey the surrounding forest for a construction project. The nearby villagers warn the family that the woods are home to ancient, malevolent beings, and their neighbour Colm Donnelly is among those who urge caution. The Hitchens dismiss the warnings until strange events escalate and it becomes clear that something means to take their child.

Corin Hardy directed and co-wrote the film with Felipe Marino, who produced alongside Joe Neurauter. It was Hardy's first feature, followed by The Nun in 2018 and Whistle in 2026. Joseph Mawle and Bojana Novaković play the couple, with Michael McElhatton, Michael Smiley, Gary Lydon and Stuart Graham in supporting roles. The Irish and British production ran 97 minutes and mixes horror with fantasy.

On IMDb the film holds 5.7 out of 10 from around 20,000 votes, and on TMDB it has 5.7 from roughly 700 votes. A critics' rating of 6.2 from 59 reviews places it above both audience scores.
