Hollow (2012)

Starring: Emily Plumtree, Matt Stokoe, Sam Stockman, Jessica Ellerby
Director: Michael Axelgaard


Premise:
Two couples head to a remote village to explore a myth surrounding a twisted tree and the spirit inhabiting it which makes young couples commit suicide.

My Take:
The movie goes down the same roads as The Blair Witch with first person, camcorder shots and not revealing the evilness until right at the end (and even then it's a little murky). It does a good job of creating tension between the characters and the environment. While there is definitely a few scares, it seems I've similar scenes too often before.

Rating: In the middle
