Audience Member Stupid, stupid, stupid. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member So I watch lots of direct to video garbage, so I know what I'm talking about when I say this is actually better than most of the cheaply made horror crap. The quality is just that much higher. Specifically the sound editing, which is pretty good and better than most direct to video movies you've never heard of. Now, that disclaimer out of the way, I know this film isn't perfect, but let's look at the positives: The cast has some highlights with Kaley Cucuo, Judge Reinhold, Eileen Brennan, and Stacy Keach. Good to see familiar faces in a movie that normally is padded out with no namers. The main thing I liked about this film is that it felt like a PG-13 extended episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". The tale is your typical Halloween fair: It's Halloween and the descendant of Ichabod Crane is haunted by his family's nemesis for a final showdown. But to spice things up we get some light cussing (no f-bombs, but some s-words and b-words) and lots of sex jokes/references. There's no overt sex (There's a brief nip slip, but that's all you ghouls are going to get), in fact, I'm surprised this got an R-rating, it's clearly a PG-13 at the most... There's a body count and the film shows some blood, not on par with other horror films, but enough to keep it out of the TV-rating range. I was entertained. A fun, brief (hour twenty run time) Halloween movie tale. As we are amping up to Halloween, this is a perfect warm up movie toward the beginning of the countdown. Uh, the bad? It is straightforward. There's not a lot to overly complicate it, but also nothing much to make it stand out. There's a few plot holes if you think about the film... which we are all best not to do. Nothing too bad that would make me give it a lesser rating however. A solid better than average! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member another retelling of this often told tale 'the legend of sleepy hollow' Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 5/15/2015: Other than the beautiful Cuoco, this movie was pretty horrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Though the characters are painfully cliched, and they're not exactly elevated by impressive performances from the cast, The Hollow packs enough of an atmospheric punch on its haunted hayride to deliver a modernized -- not to mention bloody-fun -- update of the classic Halloween-themed short story on which it is based while bringing a legendary supervillain into the 21st century.
