Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 2015 Irish folk horror film The Hallow.


Directed by: Corin Hardy


Starring: Joseph Mawle and Bojana Novakovic


Editor’s Note: Apologies for my [Ash] clunky audio this week - apparently my mic wasn’t working and I had to crank the other mics way up to make it work.


For our second Irish-Folklore-Medley theme film we watched 2015’s The Hallow. You will see the similarities between this and The Last of Us - the first game came out just 2 years before this movie. However, the film mixes this new sci-fi with old school folklore making the story unique. Despite a few instances of obvious CGI this movie is definitely worth the watch - but be wary if you have a hard time with body horror.


Scare-O-Meter Ratings:

Tasha - 5 out of 10

Julia - 5.5 out of 10


Jack-O-Lantern Ratings:

Tasha - 3.5 out of 5

Julia - 3.5 out of 5
