Hollow Creek

People are being unnecessarily harsh about this movie.Sure some of the actinf wasnt top notch but Ive def since much worse. I didn't find it slow or plodding at all. I suppose Id have enjoyed a bit more detail on some things but overall it was good. Its definitely been done before but most horror has. Its hard to find fresh. I felt tension throughout most of the movie and even felt myself yelling at the screen! Especially near the end! All n all I liked this one and would recommend it!

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.

This is not a great movie, The acting is sub par, about a step above what you'd see in soap operas. Angie is probably the best actor in the movie. The emotions are often not fully in sync with the scenes. This movie plays like an after school special or lifetime movie. All that said there is something about it that keeps you hooked. I generally do not like to watch movies about missing children, too disturbing. Early on I kept thinking about stopping the film because it seemed of low quality, but like I said it keeps you hooked. Burt Reynolds has two on screen appearances and they are extremely brief, but he adds, in my opinion, a lot. All in all I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I wish they had done a better job with the delivery, but it is what it is and that is enjoyable none the less.

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?

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.
