Noel Murray Los Angeles Times While the dialogue is colorful and the acting strong, this is ultimately a 90-minute neo-noir stretched unnecessarily past two hours. Oct 6, 2016 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The Hollow is a good whodunit-style suspense thriller with enough characters to make one's head spin. These are kept in order with good writing and directing as well as talented performances. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 19, 2020 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International This overheated Southern-fried crime thriller was maybe left out in the sun too long to cool off. Oct 11, 2016 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com A lethargic effort in desperate need of more judicious editing. Rated: C- Oct 6, 2016 Full Review Sherilyn Connelly SF Weekly Miles Doleac's The Hollow is a fun little genre potboiler that gets it right. Oct 5, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Leta S The very worst in every way possible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review ronald h I've never seen so many clichés and stereotypes in one movie: Mississippi rednecks, crooked cops, backwoods southern evangelicals, a corrupt town "boss," two FBI agents having an illicit affair. It's all been done so many times before, how could a screenwriter possibly justify it? Just to give an example of the characters here, the opening scene features a sheriff's deputy (married with kids) getting oral sex in his cop car from a 16 year old cheerleader. A black guy pulls up to his window and interrupts the proceedings to buy some meth. Yes, the deputy is also the local dealer. The plot involves a congressman's young daughter, running away to elope with her fiancé. The two of them pull off into a remote country spot to have sex and spend the night, and somebody shoots them. The FBI is called in because of the girl's father. Everybody in this town is a scumbag: the sheriff, who knows about the meth dealing but does nothing about it; the high school principal, who regularly sexually abuses a female student with a paddle and videotapes it; the town "boss," who kills off anybody who inconveniences him. The FBI agents are no angels, either. The male agent is an out of control alcoholic, and the female agent is in love with him for no apparent reason. Add in lots of annoying southern rock on the soundtrack, and you've pretty much got the idea. There's no point in elaboration or analysis. It's just one big long cliché. 1 1/2 stars because the meth dealing deputy eventually tries to redeem himself-----as if anybody cares. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie was exciting like the first 40 minutes. Then it got boring. At the end the Federal Agent killed the bad guy then planted the gun on someone else made the ending horrible. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member There is absolutely no thrill in this alleged "thriller." It is too long, the dialogue is unbelievable and stilted, the characters are so stereotypical they are cartoonish, and the two FBI agents are completely unnecessary for solving the crime. None of the character's side story lines are relevant to the ultimate plot, nor to they make you feel anything for the characters. It is just a poorly made movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupid stereotypical movie with a bad cast of characters. The plot line is weak and unoriginal. The only interesting development is to see the local deputy go from a major scumbag to a dad and husband with a heart who deeply cares for his family. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/18 Full Review Audience Member This is possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. So scattered. Soap opera-like, and it's supposed to be a CRIME/THRILLER movie!!!! Two hours of my life I'll never get back!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
