Hollows Grove

Competent found footage film. That being said, rather tired retread of situations, conflict between ghost hunter crew members, and annoying immature characters. Big names are in it minimally, for about a total of four brief scenes, so don't expect much from them.

Hello everyone, I don't speak English very well, but I was not too lazy to even go to the translator. Looking for a super low budget version of Grave Encounters? So this is it. The film absorbed all the disadvantages, weaknesses at the same time losing the main advantages of Grave Encounters - the atmosphere of horror, appropriate humor flowing first into a thriller and then into a full-fledged horror. The director of this film, as well as the rest of the crew with the exception of Lance Henriksen, did not give anything worth watching either before or after this film. Who gave the money for this? Why does this even have one star at all? This is an excellent guide to how not to make films, how not to write a script, how not to act and how not to make scenery. Don't waste time on this movie, especially if you are a horror fan (like me) because you will experience pain and shame from this movie.

Horrible first 20 min, skip over it, nothing important happens. Either these actors are just playing themselves whining and arguing and joking around or they are magnificent. They come off as complete loud (had to adjust volume) idiots for the first 20 min. After that some plot kicks in and things get better.

I enjoyed some of it but I wouldn't recommend it if you find loud annoying people aggravating. The haunted stuff is cool.

Hate to repeat but IMBD wants me to text more. I seriously recommend jumping past the first 20min. There is a cool creepy hallway scene but I won't spoil it for you :)

Hollow's grove is not a very good film at all, the plot is very simple, go into scary place and get scared for an hour. The acting is sub-par and the scares aren't clever, it does a decent job in places of building tension but that's it. It reminded me of those ghost hunting shows they have on the television but this time they don't bother to pretend it's real.

2/10: Poor acting and a rubbish cliched script make this an awful watch

Yet another movie trying to take advance of the presence of this God of cinema called Lance Henriksen, putting him almost on the cover but not so much on the screen. Don't know why he puts up with this, he can and always will do better than this!

Now about the movie: I've seen too many like this. Nothing new out of production, acting, plot, scares, ideas, only difference between movies like this or SxTape, Grave Encounters and so many others simply consist on the director's decision or sometimes on the length of the film. Here, they kept it short, I do appreciate quality over quantity but as said they brought absolutely nothing new. Reason to recommend it? Only to pass the time if you are in the dying need of a time killer.

No point in saying more than needed, watch it, don't watch it, it all comes up to you. If you do so, expect the expected, you'll get just that. Another typical found footage film, with a crew going inside an abandoned hospital where strange things begin to happen. Ba da dumb!

Cheers!
