Watch The Hollow Child For Free

Admirable film.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Samantha (Jessica McLeod ) is a foster teen who lives in a home loved by her foster mom (Jana Mitsoula)...foster dad (John Emmet Tracy) not so much. She is tasked with watching her 10 year old sister Olivia (Hannah Cheramy) and walking her home from school through the forest. Instead Samantha goes and burns one with her doobie sister (Genevieve Buechner) and Olivia becomes lost in the woods. When Olivia returns, she is not the same and creates issues. It was an interesting plot, one that is similar to some other films. I didn't like how they made Samantha using her arm as a cutting board. Seems more like they found how to create a special effect and needed to use it somewhere. May have worked better in a colonial time period. The explanation for the forest creatures was pretty quick and I felt incomplete. Guide: No swearing as I recall. No sex, or nudity

Pros: Cinematography is well done Acting is exceptional at moments Practical effects were decentCons: The soundtrack of the film is a bit overbearing and often leads to more of a sensation of melodrama rather than suspense The feeling of dread and suspense doesn't really kick in until the later half of the film The film relies on multiple occurrences of look in direction, nothing there, look away, look back, somethings there. This happens to end up flawed since suspense is not built up enough for these moments to pay offOverall, a good watch but I wouldn't suggest paying a full price of admission to a theater. The film feels more at home on a movie streaming service.

This film is based on very common folk tale. I saw many demon child movies. Children of the Corn, Pet Cemetery etc. It means many movie genre fan are still love this kind movie. I expect baby face killer. And there is but this is not that much brutal and doesn't have much gore scenes. So, I think The Hollow Child is fully enjoyable for fun and mid horror.

This international folk lore tale has been told in many variations but with the same basic emphasis on a child kidnapped then returning and being different. This film however may be the worst rendition to date. Very slow through out and highly predictable. The main characters acting wasn't too bad but the performance of the cast as a whole was subpar. The special effects were not too cheesy but were virtually non-existent albeit a scene or two. This movie wasn't the worst film to watch for an hour and a half but it definitely is a movie you should avoid if possible. I would give this a poor movie rating.
