The hollow - La notte di Ognissanti

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 acting is what you'd expect from a group of young actors being led by a young director, and probably a production management group of those in their 20's. The older actors, like Keach and Reinholdt do well, but then they've got talent to draw upon. The story is interesting yet lacks a sense of build and suspense. It's unpleasant to see the filmmakers essentially use Washington Irving as a horror character, or I should say use his grave as a horror element. The Headless Horseman is a nice horrific image with an over-sized, hideous looking jack-o-lantern for a head (which should have been slightly smaller). He's not quite as scary as the Christopher Walken horseman in Sleepy Hollow, but still pretty good. He's also a little too sluggish on his horse, not really as quick as one would expect. The climax is weak and could have been better realized. It's a worthy climax in theory, but just not well-handled and with very limited action.

The movie script was mediocre as were the special effects. However, it was a good Halloween movie for children because it wasn't inappropriate or overly scary. The acting could have been a bit better from Kaely Cucuo. Nick Carter did a surprisingly great job at acting. He has some talent other than singing inside him! I think the story line was a good idea (taking the story of Icabode Crane instead of just the headless horseman). I think the acting was only mediocre because the script was not written as well as it could be. That being said, Nick Carter did an even better job than I was expecting (and I'm a huge fan!) and go nick! When this movie is released to DVD, it is a good buy for Nick Carter fans or for parents with children from 8-12. I believe it was rated R for swearing, so maybe get the unedited version. Other than that it's not bad, not scary. More funny than scary

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.
