The hollow - La notte di Ognissanti

first off I really enjoyed this movie,, sure it's' a little campy with a lot of teenagers and stuff, but other than that the story wasn't bad at all,, I love all of the camera shots of the Headless Horseman going by and killing people,, especially the scene on the bridge. STacey Keach and Eileen Brennan are also in this and I really loved those actors because it gives the film a more "legend" feel,, our main character a teenage boy finds out he is the great great grandson of Ichabod Crane, so dealing with that , him and a bunch of other teens see a Headless Horseman riding through town,, they have to figure out if the legend is real or is it one of their classmates playing a prank,, this was a fairly good movie,, I didn't have too many complaints.

In THE HOLLOW, the legend of the Headless Horseman just might be real. On the eve of the annual "haunted hayride", creepy cemetery groundskeeper, Claus Van Ripper (Stacy Keach) warns people of the Horseman's return. Shockingly, no one believes him.

Then, teens from the local high school start disappearing, causing absolutely no response from law enforcement!

Of course, this movie wouldn't be complete without someone finding out that they're a direct descendant of Ichabod Crane. His name is Ian (Kevin Zegers) and this... is... his... des-tin-y...

Soon enough, the heads start flying!

This movie somehow manages to be both grisly and quaint at the same time. Kaley Cuoco co-stars as Karen the cheerleader soon-to-be ex-girlfriend of the extremely annoying school quarterback.

Also watch for Eileen Brennan in a humorous cameo, and Judge Reinhold as Ian's crabby dad.

Great Halloween fun...

The Hollow is the kind of film you watch with a bunch of friends and family who have a good sense of humor. The story uses the archetypal Headless Horseman theme and does a silly bit with poor Washington Irving's grave, but Stacey Keach is priceless as the curmudgeonly Klaus Van Ripper. The name alone is a hoot. What makes this film better ,for me anyway, is that my family and I visit Sleepy Hollow every Halloween for their Legend Weekend festivities. The original Keach character still gives tours of the Old Dutch Church where the bridge used to be and we got some great photographs of him amongst the graves of the Van Alan family. Anyhow, The Hollow, despite some gratuitous gore is not a bad escape for a rainy night and a bowl of popcorn. In addition, the hayride in the film is actually modeled after the Haunted Hayride in Sleepy Hollow that the local High School has been hosting for years.

The Hollow was an OK movie with OK acting. Rent it you could get a little freaked. Kaley Cuoco from TV's 8 Simple Rules is in it, as well as the Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter (Who does worse than Paris Hilton did in HOUSE OF WAX). The movie originally aired on ABC Family, which in my opinion, it shouldn't have, because it was kind of freaky for being a family movie. The TV rating is TV-14 (D,V,L,S) and the MPAA Rating for it is R (for some scary images and sexuality). So if it's rated R why is it considered a family movie? Anyway, THE HOLLOW is an OK movie which I would spend 4 bucks to rent or just watch it on ABC Family's "The Thirteen Nights Of Halloween" (airing from October 19 - October 31).

In the city of the Sleepy Hollow, a descendant of Ichabod Crane is hunted by the Headless Horseman in the Halloween night.

This silly movie is a reasonable slash movie. There are some good special effects, and the big secret to have a good time is to shut down the brain and do not think while watching "The Hollow". There are many stupid lines, especially from the character of Karen that makes the movie funnier. I only recommend this movie for viewers that loves slash movies and do not have a better option to see. It is impressive the numbers of favorable reviews released for this movie in IMDb by users with only one review, just to promote "The Hollow". They probably will give lots of negative votes to this comment, but I would like to advise IMDb users that this procedure is adopted in many bad movie, to mislead the reader with good reviews. Pay attention on the number of reviews written by the reviewer. My vote is five.
