Haunting in Hollow Creek

People are being unnecessarily harsh about this movie.Sure some of the actinf wasnt top notch but Ive def since much worse. I didn't find it slow or plodding at all. I suppose Id have enjoyed a bit more detail on some things but overall it was good. Its definitely been done before but most horror has. Its hard to find fresh. I felt tension throughout most of the movie and even felt myself yelling at the screen! Especially near the end! All n all I liked this one and would recommend it!

The whole film seems to burn very slow. The plot seems to be a bit confusing. As it progresses it's gets to be a hard frustrating watch as things unfold and you can't understand why both the law and the lead character aren't moving faster.

The haunting itself is also very shallow and you're left wishing for more. You just feel it could have all been done a lot better as the plot itself is quite good.

On the whole if you can get through the slowness it's an okay watch but it's not really one that will stay with you or one you'd really recommend .

The lead character is also a bit too dead pan and doesn't really show emotion.

Common Folks, this is not fair. I haven 't commented on movies here for a pretty long time but gotta say you are being too strict with this movie regarding this four and something rate on IMDb as well as your critiques&comments. First of all, there are much worse movies of that genre having rate over six. Then, lets see what is wrong with this movie? I haven't seen it dull, have you? It has a good pace, some pretty clever directing and scenario and is involving enough. Plot is fine, I haven't had any problems to watch the movie until the end. OK, its pretty much a cliché but hey, what Hollywood movies are not cliché these days - including the blockbusters? Yes, its true that this movie is facing some serious problems with the bad acting but do you guys know how difficult is to collect money for a movie? Do you know how difficult is to make a movie? I know that just partly, must admit, I am not the smart guy. But I know enough to pay the respect to the person who directed this movie, written a scenario and played a main role and did all these things very well. Again, there are some actors I would never call back on the stage but please be advised that not everyone can engage Robert De Niro and Anthony Hopkins in their movie. If you're able to read my comment Guisela, you did a good job, keep on working.

This is the first time I've written a review. I'm writing one now because what I'm seeing for reviews are way off base. The movie is very good. It keeps your attention. Ties all of the pieces together. The acting isn't the best, but it's not the worse either. It's worth your 2 hours.

This is not a great movie, The acting is sub par, about a step above what you'd see in soap operas. Angie is probably the best actor in the movie. The emotions are often not fully in sync with the scenes. This movie plays like an after school special or lifetime movie. All that said there is something about it that keeps you hooked. I generally do not like to watch movies about missing children, too disturbing. Early on I kept thinking about stopping the film because it seemed of low quality, but like I said it keeps you hooked. Burt Reynolds has two on screen appearances and they are extremely brief, but he adds, in my opinion, a lot. All in all I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I wish they had done a better job with the delivery, but it is what it is and that is enjoyable none the less.
