Good concept, poorly executed.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Movie was very suspenseful. The story line was very intriguing. The fast pace from directing, editing and plot was like a real "page turner". There was never a dull moment.I loved the main characters. The acting was good and believable. Steve Daron was so so handsome making me wish we could see him in more movies. Most of the men in Hollywood are not very attractive making me think there is something wrong in the gene pool. My only criticism is that the crazy characters overacted. Perhaps reasons people did not like the film were because there were no grisly murders, no major explosions and no sex. Sadly these are the typical ingredients used to determine a successful film. I found the movie exciting and highly recommend it.

Enjoyed the film. Story line had the right supernatural touch and moved along well. Kept my interest and had a satisfying conclusion. Loved seeing my home state used in the film also! Thought the actors did very well, and felt the scenes with Burt Reynolds added solidity. I applaud the director/writer and await her next effort.

"Hollow Creek" is just one, big old mess of a movie. A couple set out to have some down time (I guess) at a friend's cabin in the woods. The man is a writer and needs to come up with his new novel quick because the cover for the book has already been done. So, off they go into the middle of nowhere to a near ghost-town where (natch) there is NO cellular service. On the way, they hear some local news about the disappearance of some young boys, but they and their dog are not about to let that stop their time together. Trouble is, the couple are not really a couple. He's taken his mistress along for the ride and is about to break the news to his wife that he wants a divorce. Wifey- poo goes into town to find a doctor because she's not feeling too well, whereupon the first in a series of bad luck instances rears its ugly head. All this cheaply-made movie had going for it--and you will be misled just as I was--was the "casting" of Burt Reynolds. I do not believe I have seen him in anything since "Boogie Nights." He certainly should have left well enough alone. He is on screen for all of 10 minutes. The acting is terrible, pacing is awful, you have incidents, e.g. the now you see me; now you don't appearance of a ghost of a young boy, that is never explained and really does not have anything to do with the movie. You have the crazed couple that live in this collapsing town that would be the most OBVIOUS suspects in these disappearances, yet the local yocal sheriff and minions (who I suspect lacked opposable thumbs) cannot seem to figure out. And the writer; lord love a duck, this is basically what happens to him: He's off for a tryst with his mistress, he finds out his mistress is pregnant, his mistress disappears, he's accused of killing her, he loses his job (with no severance pay), and his wife now knows of his philandering ways. I do not know why the writer(s) stopped there. I mean, hell, why didn't you just give him cancer, AIDS--or both. Talk about overkill. I did not care one iota for anybody in this movie. Poorly directed, acted, and written, this "Creek" needs to run dry. Rated R for language, violence, and general stupidity. Don't waste your time or money.

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.
