Body Horror: Anyone who comes into contact with the fungus starts to go through this, particularly Adam. The scene at the end of the movie where the sun causes the changeling baby to 'bloom' is unpleasant to watch. | |

| The Hallow / int_726ac70d | comment |
Supernatural-Proof Father: Downplayed at the beginning when Adam is convinced that Colm Donnelly is behind most of the mysterious occurrences; but Claire doesn't seem any more inclined to believe in The Fair Folk than he is and she doesn't even open the book about them that Colm brought. When she accepts that The Hallow are real and tells Adam so, he doesn't disagree and they all run for the car. Later it gets Inverted, when Adam insists that the baby Claire is holding is really a changeling and she doesn't believe him with good reason. He turns out to be right. | |

Ambiguous Time Period | |
| The Hallow / int_7eb2bc15 | comment |
Ambiguous Time Period: The radio voice over at the beginning references the Greek debt crisis implying that the movie is set in The New '10s. However, they only cellphone that appear on screen is a clam-shell flip-phone and Adam's old style computer would place it closer to the Turn of the Millennium. And on top of that every single car is considerably older than that. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| The Hallow / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: Adam's ravings about Finn being a changeling appear to be paranoid delusions from the fungus infecting his mind, and the Axe-Crazy way he pursues Clare and "Finn" doesn't help his case. He turns out to be completely right, however. On the same note, After Clare escapes from the mutated and disoriented Adam, he calms down and smashes out the light before picking up a scythe, implying he has fully succumbed to the fungus and is about to continue chasing his wife and child with intent to kill. Instead, he's regained his senses and is going to rescue his real son from the Hallow. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Hallow / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Near the beginning, Adam talks about a fungus that infects and spreads through ants, turning them into automatons. The Hallow are "born" in a similar way. The book contains pictures of changelings. And, more tellingly, there's a picture in the book where one of The Hallow is embracing a woman and a baby. Which is Adam's ultimate fate. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: While the movie sometimes is Doing In the Wizard, a few things are left without proper explanation, such as the Hallow seeming to strategically rot wood at an accelerated pace; as well as their weakness to iron, and most of the Changeling stuff, neither of which are readily explained by the fungus. | |

| The Hallow / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Colm Donnelly's warnings are completely founded, but they're delivered in such a hostile and antagonistic manner that when things take a turn for the worst Adam is convinced Colm is the one behind everything. Despite it seeming as if Adam has lost his mind to the fungus and is about to kill his infant son, he is entirely correct that Finn was actually a Hallow doppelganger, and Adam even recovers the real Finn in the climax. | |
