Review – The Hollow

No doubt a description of the heads of some of the folks involved in creating this charming little production. Actually, I’ve seen worse horror movies. I like the whole Headless Horseman thing, so it simultaneously pleased me to see a new twist on the tale and saddened to see this new twist turn Washington Irving’s villain into a run-of-the-mill supernatural serial killer. The script was a little weak, but at least they tried using one rather than just wasting 90 minutes hacking people up. The cast features a gaggle of B-minus celebrities, including Stacy Keach as the annoying old man who seems to be the only one who knows what’s going on. Even the effects are middle-of-the-road, cheap but not so terrible that they detract from the production. The result is one of the two-est of all two-star movies I’ve ever seen. Mildly amusing
