The Hollow (2004)

A Halloween prank turns a teenage party into a night of sheer terror. High school senior Ian Cranston (Kevin Zegers, Dawn of the Dead), the last blood relative of Ichabod Crane, finds himself facing what appears to be the Headless Horseman head-on!

Not a lot of gore but the action scenes are good

This is a recent remake of the sleep hollow. It was maybe back in 2004. I think it's scarier because it was done like Jaws where the first half of the movie you don't see the whole horse man. A couple days befor hallowen the headless horse man rises from the depths of hell seeking out heads. The main charcater is told by a old gate keeper that he is a living decented of Icbob crane and the horse man had rise from the deaths of hell to hunt him down and kill him. He doesn't belive him but when two of his collge friends msyteriously dissapear he begins to fear that the horse men is not a legend the horseman is fact. Can he figure out the horseman's weakness and send him back to hall before every person in the town is decapated to the verge of oblivion. Find out in thrilling epic conclusion as the main character challanges the horse man to and old fasten mid evil duel right in the middle of sleepy hollow. This movie should be fine for people ages 17 to 105 due to brief occasional scary images and a few brief scens with adult sexual content. Will the headless horseman be defeated sent back to the abyss where he belongs only way to find out check this out from your local blockbuster or check your local scifi channel if you can find out the brodcasting times. I am combining this review with one for Ritiki mTavi and yanke dooddel cricket because I'm not sure if my original review from about two years ago could be deleted and replace with on for this year. Riki Tiki tavi tells the story of a moongose who is adopted by a britist family after he is washed out of his burrow deep in the jungles of India. This was animated by chuck jone who ten years later would make a brief camo appearance in the movie gremlins or so the commentary claims he was in it. Riki Tiki must protect his family from two evil cobra called Naga and Nagina will he prevent there diabolical scheme to murder the family that took him in after his home was destroyed. Find out in the thrilling conclusion This has another movie on it Yanbke doudle cricket but I have to got to class so will have to cover that on a fute review of Riki Tiki Tavi This is slagar the cruel over and out.

Average Horror Yarn

Clutching desperately at the coattails of Washington Irving's classic tale, "The Hollow" is a modest horror flick that will keep you entertained, either with humor (intentional and unintentional) or a few decent scares. I originally saw this flick on ABC Family about three years ago. It has recently popped up on Sci-Fi channel. It's a lot better than seventy-five percent of Sci-Fi channel's flicks, but does fit comfortably in that channel's Saturday movie lineup. It's cast has a little something for everybody. There's new stars for the younger crowd (Kevin Zegers, Kaley Cuoco), former 80's teen stars (Judge Reinhold), an old guy (Stacey Keach) and a former boy band superstar (Nick Carter).

The story is centered around the return of Ichabod Crane's bloodline (Zegers) to the village of Sleepy Hollow. When Halloween comes along, Zegers moves in on the high school football jock's girlfriend (Cuoco) and quickly makes an enemy out of said jock (Carter). Teenagers go missing, and despite warnings from the cemetary keeper (Keach), the village goes on with it's Halloween Hayride, giving a returning Headless Horseman easy pickings. Keach tries to convince Zegers that he's a descendant of Crane and that the Horseman has returned to finish a job he started many years ago. Initially Zegers denies the possibility of being related to Crane. As the story goes on, however, he begins to realize that he is Crane's descendant and only he can stop the Horseman from going on another killing spree. Heads roll, there are plenty of near-misses, and Carter, Keach and Reinhold really chew up the scenery for the rest of the movie.

When all is said and done, the viewer won't feel entirely cheated by this film. Yes, it has some very bad moments in it, but those moments are what makes this film fun. There are also a few legitimate scares throughout for the audience. You won't be afraid to go roaming down deserted country roads at night after seeing this movie, but you will have a pretty good time seeing just how silly and spooky this film can be. I'd consider it a rental, especially around Halloween, if you prefer your horror a little bit on the light side. If you can find it in the bargain bin and happen to be a fan of B-grade horror, this just might be a fun purchase. October 27, 2007

The Hollow

The movie gets a 3 but it was fun. However, Nick Carter gets a 10 but you only have a 5 May 21, 2007

Very good B-Horror flick

I liked this movie for the reason being that it was a different take on the "Sleepy Hollow" story. The story unfolded in a manner that it held your attention all the way through the movie. The acting was very solid in this B flick as well. I would recommend this movie to anyone that loves B-horror flicks!!! April 23, 2007

ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!!!

I actually caught this crapfest on the Sci-Fi channel the other night. That's exactly what it was, a crapfest. I didn't even know I was looking at Nick Carter until I read some of these reviews, which I consider a blessing. No wonder that family has so many problems. And such veteran actors such as Judge Reinhold and Stacy Keach must have been really desperate for cash if they committed to this schlock. And don't even get me started on the headless horseman. He was as about as convincing as a special effect in a cheesy 50's science fiction movie. If you want to see the best version of the story, watch Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. If you want originality, either watch Ichabod and Mr. Toad or read the original story. February 11, 2007
