Wait, Who’s Cora?

I just watched The Hallow movie. While the movie has gorgeous visuals, I was left with more questions afterwards. There were scenes that feels like it could mean something more or didn’t make sense to me, so I tried to look for an ending explained YouTube video but couldn’t find one so I just asked ChatGPT.

I asked about the part near the end where the book flips to a page showing a drawing of the mother, father, and baby. Then I asked who Cora was, the creature that Adam found holding the baby. ChatGPT told me that Cora was Colm’s wife who tried to kill her changeling baby and was later ostracized by the people who thought she was insane. Later on she was killed by the creatures or possibly by a changeling version of her own child.

I can’t remember seeing that scene in the movie so I replayed the movie and didn’t find that scene.

Still confused, I went to Google for a second opinion. And found that Cora is actually Colm’s daughter. ChatGPT literally made up a backstory where Cora was Coln’s wife. I think that’s what they call an AI “hallucination” and it was so obvious.

Also, I have to mention this random thought I had while watching the ending scene of the film. I found myself lowkey relieved when the trees were cut down. This movie unintentionally felt like propaganda for deforestation. 😭

Anyway, that’s not really the point of this post. I just had to document my first time catching ChatGPT hallucinating in real time.
