Review of The Hollow (2016) by Filmcritic1956 — 09 Oct 2016
Don't waste your time with this muddled attempt at a small town crime movie. There are so many problems with the story it's hard to know where to begin, other than to say the writer has no clue about basic storytelling technique.
Example: 2/3 of the way through the film, we find out that the killer in this partial whodunit is some random person (not int the story) who just happened to pass through down, at that's all. Various pieces of irrelevant backstory thrown in, a completely unlikable "hero" that has no redeeming qualities.
Terrible storytelling, acting was half decent, other production values were good. Writer/director: please take a screenwriting class at your local community college before wasting more money and film.
If you've already taken one, retake it--you weren't paying attention.
