Hollow Creek

Common Folks, this is not fair. I haven 't commented on movies here for a pretty long time but gotta say you are being too strict with this movie regarding this four and something rate on IMDb as well as your critiques&comments. First of all, there are much worse movies of that genre having rate over six. Then, lets see what is wrong with this movie? I haven't seen it dull, have you? It has a good pace, some pretty clever directing and scenario and is involving enough. Plot is fine, I haven't had any problems to watch the movie until the end. OK, its pretty much a cliché but hey, what Hollywood movies are not cliché these days - including the blockbusters? Yes, its true that this movie is facing some serious problems with the bad acting but do you guys know how difficult is to collect money for a movie? Do you know how difficult is to make a movie? I know that just partly, must admit, I am not the smart guy. But I know enough to pay the respect to the person who directed this movie, written a scenario and played a main role and did all these things very well. Again, there are some actors I would never call back on the stage but please be advised that not everyone can engage Robert De Niro and Anthony Hopkins in their movie. If you're able to read my comment Guisela, you did a good job, keep on working.

Truly! By the end I was so involved I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed Hollow Creek. It's not a very original story (with some dumb police tropes) but writer/director/actor Giusela Moro has really done a good job of building the tension. The acting was, on the whole, pretty good - especially Moro and Burt Reynolds who, in a small yet pivotal role, had me crying. (The old lady in the courthouse was also very good.) There's a little supernatural thrown in but, for the most part, you know how it will end. This didn't deter from my enjoyment though. Kudos to Moro for creating something decent out of something somewhat banal.

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.

First movie review ever. But I could not let a 4.2 rating stand. I starting watching mainly to see Burt Reynolds and how he has aged, he looked good, old Quint. But I was drawn in and I rarely suffer a bad movie to the end. This was not a bad movie. Of course it could have been better, But it was good, a good watch I am like the monkey in that Disney movie, I know a winner, this is one.
