I love this movie so much

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

Blake Blackmon (Steve Daron) who writes horror books goes off to a cabin in Castlerock...no bars, no cable, one radio station...welcome to rural West Virginia. He takes along with him his illustrator and mistress (Guisela Moro- director, writer) for a distraction. In the first 10 minutes we have a ghost, wolf howling, and whispers in the night. But don't pay any attention to this as Guisela Moro never bothered to develop it effectively into the script...oh wait, the baseball came down the steps. Children have gone missing in Castlerock and we are cheerily informed that if an abducted child isn't found in the first three hours, there is a 75% chance the kid is dead. Anyway, not to spoil too much but Angela, our mistress goes missing (we actually know where she is and the entire mystery is revealed) and Blake is a prime suspect because he is from NY and this is by God West Virginia.I felt I was watching a made for TV production. The budget was low and the sound track was mostly lame piano and generic. The characters were not exciting. The Burt Reynolds cameo was terrible. They should have cut it out. Perhaps the biggest surprise was that Eric Robert didn't play that part. I thought this was going to be a ghost story after about 10 minutes, but it wasn't. I am not sure why she tried to confuse the abduction genre with a weak ghost tale. It didn't work.No swearing or nudity. Near sex scene.

Truly! By the end I was so involved I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed Hollow Creek. It's not a very original story (with some dumb police tropes) but writer/director/actor Giusela Moro has really done a good job of building the tension. The acting was, on the whole, pretty good - especially Moro and Burt Reynolds who, in a small yet pivotal role, had me crying. (The old lady in the courthouse was also very good.) There's a little supernatural thrown in but, for the most part, you know how it will end. This didn't deter from my enjoyment though. Kudos to Moro for creating something decent out of something somewhat banal.

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.
