Hollow in the Land

I thought this was an above average film made more interesting by the capable acting of Dianna Argon as the lead character, Alison Miller. Throughout the story, Alison has to deal with a lot of disrespect from others in this blue collar environment largely due to the relationship between her father's crime and the local community, but also because of her younger brother's unruliness and general bias from Alison's being a lesbian. This all conspires to make her struggle to find her brother and hopefully prove his innocence more challenging and thereby interesting.

As the story develops, you learn there is a fair amount of interplay between the various people in the background and it can be a little confusing if you're not paying attention to the various character's names. If you do loose track as I did, it still manages to come together in the end. All said, in my view, a worthwhile watch.

Hollow in the Land is quite an entertaining film. It will appeal to everyone who love watching small, low budget indie films. You also might like it if you enjoy films that have a darker, melancholic feel and are mostly character and performance driven. The story explores feelings of love, guilt, bravery, dedication and vengeance. If you live in a small town where everyone knows or want to know everything about each other then you will be able to feel a story even better in my opinion. The performances are good, characters feel real, the story is gripping, pace is even and there are some nice twists. I know Hollow in the Land did not receive many positive reviews so I suggest you see it and decide for yourself, you might be surprised.

This film was better than I expected but even at 90 minutes, it seemed long. Diana Agron was essentially the movie, in just about every scene, and she was pretty good. I suppose this isn't the most ringing endorsement, but I am not disappointed that I watched this film.

Basically this movie is a pure family drama involving the guilty father with his two siblings whose fate should be rewritten and rebuild after their misfortune. But when the movie slowly takes it's full course it seems to be a movie out of the regular dramatic boundaries. It has the mysterious search of a sister for her brother...has the story of battle between the society and two lone warrior ....has the actions of twentyfirst century...has the strong finish of total background.

Recommended to thriller lovers who love to see drama type thriller.

Why don't we see her in more movies? She gave a really good performance (talking about Agron, of course).

This is one of the better indies I've seen in awhile. Very low budget, but that didn't deter from keeping my attention.

If you're in the mood for a good small town murder/who done it movie,, then go watch it!
