Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

fedor8 There's nothing much to write because nothing much happens in the film - aside from the opening scene which actually serves as a SPOILER by telling us in advance that all four main characters will be hung on the tree! So not only is the movie devoid of thrills and dull, it doesn't even let you guess. Typical found-footage crap.

Nigel P Two couples head to a remote area of Suffolk for a brief holiday. At first they seem a tolerable 'group of young people', but as we get to know them, hidden tensions rise to the surface. Scott is sardonic and takes his joking too far, James has a short temper but manages to conceal the fact, Emma is studious and a little naive, while Lynne is flirty and not terribly bright (James is described as looking like Ringo Starr's testicle, which amused me). Actors Matt Stokoe, Sam Stockman, Emily Plumtree and Jessica Ellerby are very naturalistic in their roles and almost completely convincing as 'real people' (as the opening caption assures us they are).In this British rural horror, there are plenty of ghost stories spun, many of them focus around an old and gnarled hollowed out tree that stands in the middle of a field (Emma has memories of being frightened by the tree when younger). There are a lot of unanswered questions, which is presumably deliberate, inviting us to imagine that the tree has triggered all kinds of conflicting legends.The power it wields appears to be to mess with the minds of those who show too much interest in it. Rather than scare us, we are treated instead to the dreaded 'relationships failing' routine which becomes stultifying and sails close to 'Hollyoaks' (UK teen soap) territory. What frights there are are nicely conveyed: low-key, they use night-time visions of the tree, the branches creaking in the breeze as it casts its spell over the squabbling youngsters.(SPOILERS) There are several interpretations as to what happens toward the end. In 'Blair Witch' style, one character (James) disappears and is heard screaming into the night. My logical theory is that it was James behind events that lead to the final, having faked his vanishing. A suggestion of anything more supernatural is equally valid.Interestingly, the cliffs nearby are named Dunwich Cliffs, an HP Lovecraft connection. 'Hollow' is unlikely to terrify, possibly not even scare although there are a few frights. For a rural horror, this is flawed, but fairly enjoyable.

suite92 Four friends travel to Suffolk, England to see the house that Emma's grandfather lived in. At the center of this is a large, old tree that has a large hollow section, where evil supposedly resides; this tree scared Emma when she was a girl.End summary.At 1:55 into the film, we learn that all the protagonists die, and that we are going to have to suffer through footage from the hand-held camera found at the scene. At this point, I only watch this picture so as to complete this review. As a consumer, I would reject the movie and move on to another, better one.The policeman from East Anglia does some of his own camera work in describing the tableau after all the principals have been hung by the neck until dead. He shows a lot of this huge old tree, including the opening of a huge hollow (film title). The tree is devoid of foliage at this point.We skip back in time, and start at the beginning of the found footage.Emma, James, and Scott travel by car to a train station, where they pickup Lynn.While continuing to their destination, they kill a fox. They stop, and Emma sees the massive old tree and remembers her fear. Her mother had a particularly creepy story about it, which is told later. The tree is in leaf, and looks rather vigorous.The cottage had been in Emma's family for generations. While going through papers they find news clippings in her grandfather's belongings dating from 1650 to three days before he died. The common thread is suicide of couples by hanging from the tree.They talk to a local clergyman, who will not tell them anything. A local fisherman recounts two versions of the first suicide. Scott finds a book where an entire chapter is devoted to the tree and the suicides, notably 9 in a period of 18 months around 1983.The four have other issues. James and Emma have known each other the longest, but were not right for each other. James cannot quite accept that. Lynn definitely draws Scott's attention. Lynn has a child, Kyle, by James, but James and Lynn are not married. What could go wrong there?Doing recreational drugs seems like a mistake, in any case, but given all the suicide build up, this is a perfectly stupid move. After they work themselves up, they go out in public yelling and screaming. Brilliant. Then they go driving while under the influence. Doubly brilliant.Emma decides to go back to the cottage herself after Scott gets the car stuck off road. She needs her inhaler, but probably cannot get to it. She heads to the tree for some reason. James catches up with her inhaler, and gets her pointed back to the others.Scott challenges the tree in the dark. How dramatic. Scott and Lynn start making out in the blackness; James catches this. Emma defuses it, somewhat.The next day was to be the last day in the area: turn in the keys and leave. Things are broken here among the couples. The local clergy insists that avoiding the tree is the right thing to do, so the history of hangings won't be resolved. Going home, forgetting this place, seems like the clear decision.They don't do that. The last 20 minutes felt like 200; heavy breathing and screaming in blackness.-----Scores------Cinematography: 0/10 Found footage. This is better than most; fairly long segments of the first half of the film are in color. The second half is a different story.Sound: 4/10 As with many dreadful 'found film' projects, sound was recorded. The repetitive sound of the wind screen wipers, for instance, is of exactly zero interest to most viewers especially with the camera focused on uninteresting objects during travel in a car. Listening to James breathing as he walks around confused or scared did not heighten tension. Video footage of a fly on the inside of the car's wind screen was the topper: James' finger impacting the screen and the fly moving about in agitation. Wonderful use of the viewer's time. Some of the yelling overloaded the video camera's ability to record. The breathing in near darkness gets really annoying after a while.Acting: 2/10 Get a bigger budget and hire better actors next time.Screenplay: 0/10 At least 50 percent of the film is spent on couples fighting verbally. Perhaps 15 percent is recorded in blackness with barely useful sound. Another 10 percent is focused on auto ceilings, fidgety knees, or the ground. Who cares about any of these three categories? What does this have to do with horror? with thrillers? with mystery?

axstarxlitxsky I'll be honest, I watched this film because Sam Stockman (James) and Matt Stokoe (Scott) were in it. I was a bit apprehensive about the film though, because it so easy with films of this style to be obvious and bland.I was pleasantly surprised with this film. As a horror fan, I've seen lots of films like this and this was definitely one of the best. It was refreshing to have fairly steady camera angles (I can't stand the ones that make you feel sea sick) and the relationships between the characters was believable (it helps that Sam and Matt are best friends). The ending was a little obvious once James' ran off so you could pretty much work out from there what was going to happen, but the tension came from when and how he was going to get them. It was refreshing to see a British version of the genre as there are far too many 'small town in America' ones. The scenes between Sam (James) and Emily (Emma) were some of my favourites. I loved the portrayal of James' vulnerability and how it was written for Emma to try to be supportive of his mental health issues whilst still trying to keep boundaries. The psychology in this film is well thought out.The only question I was left with was how the fox disappeared once it had been run over because you can tell from the camera angle that James was nowhere near it.Altogether, I'd say it's worth a watch.
