The Hallow is considered an Irish “eco-themed” horror and the evil spirits are repeatedly called “bad fairies” in reviews but I call it “a pretty damn effective movie” that I "would recommend." Adam & Claire move to the remote Irish village nestled near a large forest with their baby boy Finn. Adam does some biological conservational-type science work and has the superstitious locals spooked about upsetting the spirits of the forest. Unfortunately for Adam, they’re not just superstitions. Quickly the angry spirits are after them and the baby. If you’re not careful, they’ll poke you in the eye and ‘turn you’ into one of them. Which sucks, but it looks like you can still rescue babies in that condition.
Overall the mood was great in the Hallow and the bad fairies were gnarly. I did have a couple quibbles with the story, but I talked myself out of bringing them up. 8 sticky piles of black, intelligent, evil fungus out of 10.
