Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Kamran Rastegar I am starting to think a lot of the people on here watch too many daytime sitcoms. Apparently no-one here realised that only one person in this whole cast could act. Dennis Hopper. I'm surprised to see him in a film like this...actually I'm not. Now that i remember he was also in "memory"", a film which had, albeit a lesser, problem of bad actors. But that film was 100 times better than this trash.The farmers and the workers all must be the WORST actors i have ever seen. none of them delivered their lines in anything close to a convincing manner. The direction was TERRIBLE, very clunky, bad angles, bad editing, and the narration was so corny.I tried to like this film because i am often guilty of enjoying horror films that are bagged by many but there is a main difference...they usually have good direction and capable actors. this movie had none.The idea was good, but so, so poorly executed. Anyone who disagrees watches too much badly acted soaps.PS Whoever said it was scary that "most of this actually happened" is clearly a victim of buying into the "based on a true story" thing without even researching. Police found bone fragments of one person, whom they were unable to identify. Only one person was missing (presumed dead). Creative license was handed out greatly on this one. And the movie still sucked.
mm-39 My wife rented this movie help! I would not have rented this film. My wife made me watch the whole movie and I suffered just like the victims in this film. Where too begin! The film quality looks like a hand held camera, or camera phone. Yikes, the acting looks improvish! The story is just shock value. Has been actors like Hooper, Madison and Rober Carridine who need the work are there just to suck you in like the victims at the ranch. Huge plot holes. Why would the bad guys give the forced worker a chainsaw? I would be a very deranged victim and would have used the chainsaw. Stupid! I give this film one for their is no minuses for the rating board. Soon to be in the 99 cent buy bin in a video store near you. Don't walk Run away from the box or face my fate. The crap is like the horror movie videodrome the real horror is not the movie but watching it. O the horror of being bored too death.
Poe-17 I grew up in the "fruit tramp" years. My family went from camp to camp in season; cherries, apples, peaches, pears ... whatever harvest was up, that's where we were. Not Texas but California, Oregon and Washington state. There were all these tales about ranches that picked up workers and the workers were never heard from again. Those horror stories were a part of my real past. So this film touched base with my early fears. Since then I've learned how much of that was myth, but also how, a little slice, some of it was true.Texas got the headlines but it wasn't an isolated thing. Some of the scary stories of my youth weren't tall tales.Hoboken Hollow is exaggerated cinema but has roots in an ugly reality. And it wasn't just immigrants, poor American's too, working to better themselves. During those years, many went from poverty to okay to middle class working on various ranches.It could have been better but I'm startled that the story was even told. It's the second half of the Grapes of Wrath.Just my opinion.Hoboken Hollow is a sub par film tackling a thin slice of history. It wants to address the subject but lacks the info to do so. Kudos to the attempt.I think it was honest - partly.
moviebuff2000 I don't want to say too much about this film so I don't ruin it for others but it is unlike most other horror films in the fact that it has an in-depth story line and it is shot as a sort of docu-drama. What I have noticed about many comments on many sites is that a lot of people are not following the story well. I think this is because most people go to see a horror film and do not expect it to make much sense so they do not pay attention to the details. If you miss some of the story line in this one it can really affect the outcome for you. It is not your typical no brainer, but there are some goods scenes that will make you jump or just plain disturb you. Also has a couple of good twists, I recommend this movie to anyone who likes to think or loves a little bit of gore. Also this movie is "based" on actual events, which makes it that much more unnerving.
