Hollows Grove

Hello everyone, I don't speak English very well, but I was not too lazy to even go to the translator. Looking for a super low budget version of Grave Encounters? So this is it. The film absorbed all the disadvantages, weaknesses at the same time losing the main advantages of Grave Encounters - the atmosphere of horror, appropriate humor flowing first into a thriller and then into a full-fledged horror. The director of this film, as well as the rest of the crew with the exception of Lance Henriksen, did not give anything worth watching either before or after this film. Who gave the money for this? Why does this even have one star at all? This is an excellent guide to how not to make films, how not to write a script, how not to act and how not to make scenery. Don't waste time on this movie, especially if you are a horror fan (like me) because you will experience pain and shame from this movie.

I think all of the budget went on paying for Lance Henriksen to appear in this film even though it was just for a couple of scenes. The production value is fine the acting for what is needed for this basic film is fine but in the end it's nothing but a pretty standard found footage film, a few jump scares, lots of noise off camera etc.

Even the classic line of "Film Everything" was used.

I'm suposed to say more to take this up to over the required character count but there really isn't much more I can say as it's just a so so film so here are some random words. Sad, boring, pointless etc etc.

Lance Henrikson has become a horror icon. He's protected the Antichrist, fought the Terminator, battled demons, Aliens and Predators. He's been in over 200 movies and now he's in a found footage horror movie. Too bad he only has 2 scenes.

I went into this thinking it would be along the lines of Grave Encounters, which I really like, and it sort of is. The problem is that it's missing most of the scares. Whereas Grave Encounters went right for the jugular, this one has most of the spooky stuff happening off camera (singing and whispering heard, things disappearing when an area is returned to). The setting is creepy and some genuinely frightening stuff happens near the end, but it is almost too late by then.

Hollows Grove did keep me interested throughout however and is definitely worth a watch for fans of these types of movies. 6.5/10.

Competent found footage film. That being said, rather tired retread of situations, conflict between ghost hunter crew members, and annoying immature characters. Big names are in it minimally, for about a total of four brief scenes, so don't expect much from them.

2 characters were annoying as hell Rog and Tim a little over the top childish. For what I imagine this had a super low budge but was still very well made, there is a couple scenes you could notice especially. The one with Lilah. I normally don't watch any year 2010+ with Lance Hendrickson cause most are crab but he is hardly seen, I can honestly say I got a little creeped out and I haven't been creeped out since the Conjuring first came out.
