I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A Major Disappointment

Hoboken Hollow is one of those films that makes you think two words: If Only. If only the writing had been a little better with more intriguing dialogue. If only the acting had been a little better (which is surprising considering it has Michael Madsen, Dennis Hopper, and C. Thomas Howell). If only a little more had gone into the plot to make the film seem unforced and cohesive.Premise: A guy is hitchhiking his way to California after returning home from the war. A stranger offers him a lift to his ranch he works at and wants to know if he wants a job. Guy agrees but says it can only be for one day. The horrific events that follow on the "ranch" are beyond brutal and it i safe to say you would never wanna go there.Gory scenes make up a lot of stuff. It is not SCARY just more of an uncomfortable collage of messed up violence. This move could have been great instead it just kinda lays there.4.75 out of 10 stars. Only watch it if you TRULY love the genre or need some gore.

I was actually quite looking forward to this one- sounded good, promising cover and based on true events. What more could you ask for? Well, the short answer to that is anything that wasn't this. I've seen some stinkers in my time, but this has to rate as one of the worst. A very noteworthy cast- Dennis Hopper, Michael Madson, Lyn Shaye and oh.... C. Thomas Howell and Jason Connery. If Connery Jnr is in anything, you know it's going to be cheap and BAD. The actual story is very fragmented- you don't actually know why they're killing people, least of all I couldn't make it out apart from being sadists with a pathetic little cattle prod that kept poking people in the neck. Its a very basic version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre for kids- implied cannibalism, a hulking big brother with limited intelligence, and general lunacy all round. A rape for no apparent reason to the plot, people who could have escaped but decided they liked it there, a lot of rubbish about Cedar wood that was just dull, and a mentally challenged fat madman who wasn't after all. The whole thing just stunk. If you're thinking of watching this- please don't.

I give it one star purely out of respect for Dennis Hopper (oh Dennis, where did it all go wrong?) This was a horrible film. And by horrible, I mean waste of time. OK, some of the gore was quite realistic if a little excessive, but that might be all it has going for it. The 'acting' is merely an imitation of some of the worst hillbilly-killer-mutilator-family stereotypes - either that or 'I'm hitch-hiking in American backwater country and I don't understand why this is happening but I will find my resolve and overcome'...yada yada yada.....If you've ever seen a horror movie, chances are you will recognise at least one part of this. As a blatant rip off, it still sucks. As a film in it's own right....it should be ashamed of itself....

this is not a good film to watch if you have ever seen any other 'theres strange related people living out their on the ranch' films. it offers nothing new and just plods along between shots of various transients getting tortured to 'look here i am eating some strange sort of jerky' shots....oh i wonder what that could be. well at least the pigs always get fed, which is probably why they do some of the best acting in the film and you learn never to eat bacon with a tattoo on it. but apart from that unless you live on a ranch,look like your strange relatives, are short on food and need some good evening 'party game' tips it might be better to give this film a miss.
