A month after its trailer debut, DirecTV Cinema has picked up supernatural thriller THE HALLOW, with plans to screen the film exclusively for a month before it hits theaters. You can see the movie anytime between now and November 4th, prior to the films official release on November 6th.
Directed by Corin Hardy from a script by Felipe Marino:
“The Hallow” is the story of London conservationist Adam (Joseph Mawle from “Game of Thrones”) and his wife Clare (Bojana Novakovic). They move with their infant son to a remote house near the Irish forest.
The family soon finds their new neighbors unwelcoming. They discover a gruesome “zombie fungus” growing in the house. The nearby woods spew forth a terrifying array of folkloric banshees, baby snatchers and demons. The film is awash in the otherworldly atmosphere of a dark fairy tale. “The Hallow” cleverly toys with horror film conventions while showing some of the most terrifying creatures in years.
