Story: It's Halloween eve on Shelter Island, and the small town is preparing for a killer storm. But the dark clouds gathering over the island are bringing with them a curse one-hundred years in waiting. As the woods give birth to an ungodly and insatiable creature of fire, bones, and earth, three sisters must scramble to stay alive through the long dark night of the Hollow. For it's not something you can kill. It's only something you can try and survive.
Likes : This is an interesting film for a tv movie, start off pretty well setting the scene of the concept of a deserted, isolated island , possible resource here of the utterly impenetrable wall of trees creating a spooky feeling at he beginning setting the audience on edge before the oncoming storm hits, while the slow-building mysterious events in emotion with the blank island and continual stranded nature create an eerie setting for which the insertion of the main concept of the story.
Although this film is slightly flawed in story at least the back ground to what is actually happening in the film is mention at one point in the film so it dosent leave you wonder what the hell is going on. The special effect are actually pretty good the acting is pretty spot on for a low budget film, im pretty surprised just well made this film is, as i was expect a pretty poor special effect film with poor acting, which im glad to say had nieve.
The creature effect are impressive the appearance and powers of the creature are quite well done as the body being composed of tree roots and moss conjoined with supernatural fire bleeding through its eyes and mouth as well as its appears to teleport itself around to kill its victims which makes for a quite impressive creature feature film.
Dont get me wrong this is a syfy channel movie, you have to expect it for what it is a low budget horror film made for tv, but still a great entertaining film to watch.
Dislikes : The only flaw really was that it kind of lost it scariness mid way through, but the concept was pretty good.
Overall : Great special effects, good story concept, a little weak in scary horror but good film
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.3 out of 10 for concept.
