IFC Midnight has released a new trailer for Corin Hardy‘s upcoming horror film The Hallow, which tells the story of a couple and their infant son who move into a countryside home, only to be terrorized by a mythological force lurking in the surrounding forest.
I actually just had the opportunity to check this one out this week (full review to follow) and found it to be quite fun – think Splinter with monsters.
The Hallow stars Joseph Mawle, Bojana Novakovic, Michael McElhatton, and Michael Smiley, and will be available on DIRECTV October 10th, in theaters November 6th, and VOD November 5th.
Deep within the darkness of secluded forest land in rural Ireland dwells an ancient evil. Feared by the nearby superstitious villagers as cursed creatures who prey upon the lost, their secrets have been kept from civilization and remain on their hallowed ground. But when a conservationist from London moves in with his wife and infant child in order to survey the land for future construction, his actions unwittingly disturb the horde of demonic forces. Alone in a remote wilderness, he must now ensure his family’s survival from their relentless attacks.
With his feature debut, acclaimed visual stylist Corin Hardy displays an innate talent for the macabre, approaching the medium with a cocksure confidence in his construction of the modern horror fable. Relying upon a precise and layered technical elegance, The Hallow seethes with an uncommonly sophisticated terror that uncoils effortlessly into an atmosphere of disquieting intensity and primal dread.
