The Hollow (2004)

That was an excellent one.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

If there was a way to make the Headless Horseman boring, then "The Hollow" done so. What a yawner! Taking place where the legend was born, the local caretaker (played by Stacey Keach who has certainly seen better days in his career, adding a lot of "Ye" to his sentences, trying to apply an accent that is laughable) tells a high school kid named Ian (teen heartthrob Kevin Zegers) he is the descendant of Ichabod Crane and that the Headless Horseman will be coming after him! At first a bit skeptical, Ian will soon be convinced when teenagers turn up missing, their heads lopped off by the Horseman's sword. This dull affair might be interesting for fans of Kaley Cuoco, as she portrays a love interest of Zegers, a hot cheerleader who has decided to usurp boy-band pop star Nick Carter's romantic advances (when Carter is a bully to you, might want to check your man card!). Judge Reinhold is positively wasted as Zegers' football coach father (he demands Ian's joining the football team, but his boy wants to fence instead), getting a little screen time as a pushy authoritarian whose demands are often unrequited. He even has to give up the remote to the wifey when she wants to watch a horror film on Halloween night. There's the hayride and Ichabod Sleepy Hollow ghost stories which Ian provides to townsfolk which take up time in the film but fail to elicit much in the way of creeps or thrills. Cuoco's character is refreshing in that she prefers Ian's nerd over Carter's jock. Later in the film, Cuoco is dressed in white face paint and a ghost bed sheet during the hayride "night of scares", having to follow behind Ian as the Headless Horseman (its jack-o-lantern head a rather unimpressive CGI creation) looks to chop off their heads. There's this bridge that seems to work as kryptonite against the Horseman. A tame sex season has a lady getting the down under treatment, with the felatio interrupted by the Horseman who takes off the guy's head. Carter and Zegers at odds over Cuoco gets plenty of rub, obviously. And you drunk graveyard caretaker Keach, looking worse for wear, telling anybody that will listen to get to safety as the Horseman was on the loose, doing the "Crazy Ralph" shtick (the "You're all doomed!" character from Friday the 13th).Shabbily produced and nary much in the way of severed head carnage, "The Hollow" craps out and never raises much in the way of chills. Skip this and watch "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" instead. Worth a look if you want to see Cuoco in a skimpy cheerleader outfit, but the thrills end there.

This was an excellent movie. I was so surprised at how many times they used a different word instead of swearing. I was VERY impressed. I will admit though I was shocked at the ending. They totally left it open for a second one and I don't think one was ever made! My favorite part of the movie was probably Brody's victory dance, that was funny. I don't really know why this movie was rated R because I didn't notice that it was very graphic. But since I watched it on TV it could have been edited. For anyone who has not seen this movie yet should. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 16 but for you old people(lol) it is a good movie for watching in the dark. Also as a big plus for you Nicky fans don't be worried he doesn't die!! I was scared though cuz he came pretty close :)

This movie cannot be cataloged only in horror movies, it is not really that scary, though there were a few scenes that frightened me. I find it rather enjoyable nothing that unusual to be R rated, I am 15 and I think I am quite grown-up for it. The acting was amazing, Kevin Zegers is cute and professional like always, his character is great. And Nick Carter's character was such an idiot, just something that didn't fit in. Beside that... The effects weren't so masterful, but it was definitely not a low budget movie. Kevin deserved this role and so did Kaley. It is in the same time a movie about a teenager pursuing his dreams and not his fathers. But Ben Scott was a genius as The Headless Horseman, you would never suspect the difference between him and Brody =)). I loved the movie, I could watch it every Hallowen.

that was such a great movie, i know it's rated R and I'm only 13 but it's not scary at all to me, it was pretty funny though! You get to see dead people and heads getting chopped off but the scenes weren't done in a really really scary way. The headless horseman was really cool, I loved that horse too. Too bad it's rated R, I had to watch it on TV-I really wanted to see it in theater. I'm like a really really big fan of Nick Carter and I think he acted really good in this one. I didn't know he was that good until I saw this movie! His character was really funny, I loved Brody. Nick screams like a girl! The castings and all that were awesome, this is like the best horror movie ever.
