Watch The Hollow For Free

Just so...so bad

Good movie but grossly overrated

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The Hollow starts on the Eve of Halloween at the small American town of Sleepy Hollow where new resident Ian Cranston (Kevin Zegers) is driving along trying to impress a local bird named Karen (Kaley Cuoco) when he has to swerve to miss the local cemetery keeper Claus Van Ripper (Stacy Keach) who then tries to convince Ian that he is an actual descendant of Ichabod Crane (just watch Tim Burton's fantastic Sleepy Hollow (1999) to find out who he is) whom escaped the ghostly Headless Horseman many decades ago, so since Ian is technically a Crane the Headless Horseman decides he will take what he can get so he intends to kill Ian as some sort of revenge. Look, just don't ask. Annoyingly for the local population of Sleepy Hollow the Headless Horseman doesn't mind killing anyone who gets in his way, cue lots of American teenagers... yawn...Directed by Kyle Newman who according to the IMDb credits casted himself as the 'Cool High School Dude' I personally thought The Hollow was rubbish, it's as simple & straight forward as that really. The script by co-producer Hans Rodionoff who also makes a cameo appearance in the finished film as a corpse 'borrows' heavily from Burton's wonderful Sleepy Hollow which The Hollow is inferior to in every single aspect. The first thing to say is that while Burton's film was a brilliant Gothic period who dun-nit murder mystery & by comparison The Hollow is a cheap, tacky, predictable contemporary teen slasher riddled with clichés, bad character's, poor dialogue & unconvincing CGI effects. The decision to move the ahem, 'action' to modern America & populate the cast with annoying teen stereotypes says it all really, this is lazy & uninspired film-making. Add to that the fact that the first 50 odd minutes are really slow, boring & dull which they most certainly are. Apart from the basic legend of the Headless Horseman which is quite a cool concept, a nice looking cast & one or two half decent scenes The Hollow has very little going for it.Director Newman does nothing to impress, it's competent but little else. What's up with Stacy Keach's character anyway? He seems to know absolutely everything, when the Headless Horseman appears, what his weaknesses are, that Ian is a distant relation to Crane & just about everything else. There's not much gore & what there is totally revolves around decapitated heads & headless bodies. They couldn't afford the CGI effects to make the Headless Horseman headless so they stick a pumpkin on his stump to hide the actors head which looks about twice as large as a normal head, personally I feel cheated I mean this film is supposed to be all about a ghostly Headless Horseman & there technically isn't one. In fact I think they should have renamed him to the Pumpkinhead Horseman, well it has ring to it doesn't it & it would have been a more accurate description.With a supposed of about $900,000 which I accept isn't much The Hollow is reasonably well made but you'll have probably forgotten it within a day. Quite how (once) respected actors like Keach & Judge Reinhold end up in bottom of the barrel crap like this is anyone's guess, the teenage cast are mostly annoying although some of the birds in this are good looking especially Erica played by Shelly Bennett who gets her head chopped off.The Hollow is a pointless film really, Tim Burton has already made the perfect Headless Horseman film with Sleepy Hollow & what's left is just your less-than-average teen slasher film that fails to entertain or impress. Not one to rush out to see...

The Hollow is another retelling of the famous horror story of the headless horseman. The film stars Kevin Zegers, Kaley Cuoco, and Nick Carter (who is the worst in this film). The story needed lots of work with its dialogue and plot. The film revolves around the descendant of Ichabod Crane who has resurrected the headless horsemen. The movie has cheap effects and some very stupid acting from some of its cast, including Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. The film also has a very unnecessary sex scene that is just hilarious. With the way the movie is, it should have just been on nickelodeon. Just cut out the sex scene and the cheesy gore. It reminded me of one of those Are You Afraid of the Dark shows they had on nickelodeon years ago. This movie was fun to watch but it is not good. The only thing I really enjoyed in this film was the opening title sequence with the mood and music it established. Other than that, the movie was bad, but you can still have fun with a horror film even though you know its bad.

In the city of the Sleepy Hollow, a descendant of Ichabod Crane is hunted by the Headless Horseman in the Halloween night.This silly movie is a reasonable slash movie. There are some good special effects, and the big secret to have a good time is to shut down the brain and do not think while watching "The Hollow". There are many stupid lines, especially from the character of Karen that makes the movie funnier. I only recommend this movie for viewers that loves slash movies and do not have a better option to see. It is impressive the numbers of favorable reviews released for this movie in IMDb by users with only one review, just to promote "The Hollow". They probably will give lots of negative votes to this comment, but I would like to advise IMDb users that this procedure is adopted in many bad movie, to mislead the reader with good reviews. Pay attention on the number of reviews written by the reviewer. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Halloween Macabro" ("Macabre Halloween")

This is a horror movie you can gather the whole family together and watch. No Gore, no strong language (well, one strong word) and lots of thrills. Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) plays a very convincing tough guy/semi-bully and easily helps carry this film. Stacy Keech and Judge Reinhold? This is how you continue a slow career. I rented this on a hunch and was not disappointed! Stephen King says if you can't scare them, gross them out and this movie went for the scare and successful got it. I laughed, I cried, I grabbed my teddy bear and checked all the windows and doors.I won't say buy this since once you've seen it, you've seen it all but... RENT THIS MOVIE!!!
