Audience Member I liked the spikey man but holy fuck was this bad. The bad stuff is supposed to stop once the storm is over, but there's no storm for more than 90% of the movie's runtime, and every character delivers their lines in a shrill scream before they even make it to the location where the scary stuff happens. Just an atrocious way to deal with this concept... DP with the silky-smooth flow, though. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Just can't take the screaming by the 3 sisters... they were warned dozens of times to stop screaming and be quiet because the demon they are running from will hear them but they refused. 3/4 of the way through the movie I started rooting for the demon because i just couldn't take it any more. Not an intelligent one in the bunch... and this movie really should have been titled EMMA! Given the ridiculous number of times one of the two sisters screamed it over and over and over again. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This film goes through quite a quality curve, to the point of looking either like it was created by multiple directors or simple had no direction. After opening with some of the most cliche'd dialogue in history, the film eventually gets to the point where the tension begins and people start to die (if that's a spoiler to you, you might be the only person to find this film original). When the tension kicks in, "The Hollow" does supply a solid middle act with some good little jumps, decent pacing and CGI that certainly seems better than the rest of this low budget affair would warrant. However, and without spoilers here, the third act descends all the way back and results in a climax that is both CRINGE warrantingly cliche and also completely impossible to accept, even with your brain utterly switched off. I wanted to like this film, but the characters act with unclear and often illogical motives, the menacing creature seems to lose all it's most menacing qualities by the end, and EMMA. The character Emma, for her entire screen time, is possibly the most irritating and hate inducing character in cinema history. The flicker of a cult hit instead becomes a forgettable amateur hour flop. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Badly acted nonsense with a cool but wasted monster that looked mini me Balrog Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible. One of those movies you wish the monster gets everyone a few mins in. Tried to force myself to watch it and couldn't. Turned it off 3/4 through. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst horror movies I have seen in a long time. The emotion is incredibly forced and fake, and the characters are entirely unlikable. The plot is almost entirely based around dumb mistakes made by the characters and by the end of the movie you are actually routing for the monster. The monster and premise of the movie I thought showed at least some glimmer of hope, but it was ultimately wasted. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
