The acting is pretty bad. The guy who plays Chad is the best of the lot I'd say. Matt Doherty is up there in the absolute worst horror movie actors I've seen. I actually looked him up on IMDb just to see who he was and what other acting jobs he'd gotten, which is when I decided to leave a review. There were a couple scenes where I laughed out loud from the absurdity of his acting.
The plot and script are decent. Overall, if it's a rainy day, you've blown through everything on Netflix that looks good to you, and you have nothing else to do, give it a look. There are some okay jump scares and a few creepy moments. Lance Henriksen was a pleasant surprise. It's always interesting to see where he'll pop up.

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.
Horrible first 20 min, skip over it, nothing important happens. Either these actors are just playing themselves whining and arguing and joking around or they are magnificent. They come off as complete loud (had to adjust volume) idiots for the first 20 min. After that some plot kicks in and things get better.
I enjoyed some of it but I wouldn't recommend it if you find loud annoying people aggravating. The haunted stuff is cool.
Hate to repeat but IMBD wants me to text more. I seriously recommend jumping past the first 20min. There is a cool creepy hallway scene but I won't spoil it for you :)

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 can't believe the good reviews here, the only good thing I can say about this haunted hospital mess is that it might be slightly better than that nepotistic abomination from Oliver Stone's kid and some other movie that tried way too hard for lovable characters and scares and failed on both, and that one was set in a prison hospital, so if you want to be picky then it doesn't count here. I also can't recall the titles of those movies and don't care enough to find them again, so they may actually be better than Hollows Grove.
First, the dialog the characters use for their show's narrative is so insipid, inane and uninformative that I could almost believe it was intentionally done as a statement on the stupidity of the typical reality show, but I don't know if I can give the writers that much credit, since the characters' dialog is just as bad in their interactions with each other. The film also feels like it takes forever to get anywhere, focusing too much and too long on building cliché characters who ultimately contribute nothing to the story beyond a body count.
I did wind up giving the film three stars for some of the better effects, but I think I was feeling too generous. And I won't even talk about the FBI ending, as that was bad enough to cause the entire film to lose a star, now that I think about it.
You want the same storyline? Just watch Grave Encounters again.
