Hollow Creek

What can I say?

1. Not bad a story without the supernatural element.

Should have kept simple.

2. Main two actors were fine but they hillbilly family and the cops acting were awful. However going in i never new Burt Renolds was in it.

3. Dump Burt Renolds, He had no sway in the story and probably cause you better cast members.

4. Felt like a new directors first real feature film. I don't know if it was bad acting or bad directing. "Release the dogs" was cheesy as f...

But if you ignore the bad acting, corny 1 liners, terrible CGI, Duff Director... What have the romans ever given us?

Interesting movie. A Canadian film, taking place in the U. S., with French subtitles. And with Burt Reynolds in what had to be one of his last movie roles.

The storyline was engaging, but SO many details were overlooked, beginning with the redneck cops' premise that the boyfriend must be the killer because he writes horror novels. The most obvious and laughable film faux pas was the terrible makeup job on the little boys. ¡Ay carumba! I have seen better during neighborhood Halloween outings. And back to the cops: they searched the property, forgetting to look in the basement? Hmm. In one of the last scenes, in the graveyard, you can clearly see one of the production crew in a yellow vest in the background, too.

Well, I made it through the movie, because I had to see how it ended. I love horror movies, and despite the amateurish flaws, this was engaging. I was happy with the ending, predictable as it was, so there was that! Its worth a watch, maybe with a good sense of humor.

Enjoyed the film. Story line had the right supernatural touch and moved along well. Kept my interest and had a satisfying conclusion. Loved seeing my home state used in the film also! Thought the actors did very well, and felt the scenes with Burt Reynolds added solidity. I applaud the director/writer and await her next effort.

The whole film seems to burn very slow. The plot seems to be a bit confusing. As it progresses it's gets to be a hard frustrating watch as things unfold and you can't understand why both the law and the lead character aren't moving faster.

The haunting itself is also very shallow and you're left wishing for more. You just feel it could have all been done a lot better as the plot itself is quite good.

On the whole if you can get through the slowness it's an okay watch but it's not really one that will stay with you or one you'd really recommend .

The lead character is also a bit too dead pan and doesn't really show emotion.

There is no explanation why this very poorly written screenplay deserves two hours of screen time. The fact that Burt Reynolds is in the movie does nothing for me either way. It shouldn't be the reason anyone should decide to watch the movie.

This movie doesn't need specific critiquing. My caption spoke volumes. The movie could have gone somewhere with an able support cast. I do believe the positive reviews were written by people related to the movie.

When the villain was revealed, it rapidly turned into a comedy. The acting of supposed hillbillies was so poor, they couldn't be taken seriously. The fact that those two were abducting children made the movie only more unbearable. I don't see how anyone could see them in a role, other than not talking. The keystone cops were just as stereotypical and hardly felt like true law enforcement. They were no-name actors dressed as policemen.

This movie could've been produced far better. There is a little to no character development. You couldn't even have any sympathy for the lead actor. He was your typical married man who cheats on his wife with someone from work. The chemistry between them was promising at the beginning, The attempts to make him appear sympathetic or genuine, fell short.

I would suggest South Korean movies. Start with,The Wailing.
