Found footage films have become the go-to style for horror films recently and with many of the films really not doing much to impress the horror going audience, it’s easy to become skeptical of any upcoming found footage releases. That being said, Tribeca Films is releasing a new flick via VOD on September 19th from director Michael Axelgaard called Hollow and, I gotta say, it’s looking like a potential winner.
What made me curious about the film before watching the trailer was that it had a hint of Sion Sono’s Suicide Club plot in the synopsis and so I was wondering how close this movie would be to that. After watching the trailer I’ve concluded that it would not come close at all but it definitely does seem like a pretty interesting horror film and one that might actually do a good job of scaring people (I also think the poster is pretty neat too).
An old monastery in a small, remote village in Suffolk, England has been haunted by a local legend for centuries. Left in ruin and shrouded by the mystery of a dark spirit that wills young couples to suicide, the place has been avoided for years, marked only by a twisted, ancient tree with an ominous hollow said to be the home of great evil. When four friends on holiday explore the local folklore, they realize that belief in a myth can quickly materialize into reality, bringing horror to life for the town.
Hollow stars Emily Plumtree, Sam Stockman, Jessica Ellerby and Matt Stokoe
