Creepy Hollow

Rating: 4/10 (28 February 2005)

The first time I saw it some years ago on DVD I thought oh this one I have to see again but after I have seen it again it was boring. I mean it's not a story where I can say this is one of those I will keep in my collection cause here you see and that's it. It's definitely not a must see but if you like horror visual effects this is for you. There were many bloody and violent scenes with rolling heads. I have to admit that the setting place was wonderfully built and created so the needed mysterious atmosphere. The special effects were real good especially the horse scenes with the rider and the soundtrack from Danny Elfmann was as usual great. The running time of the movie is just okay. I think this legend is more interesting to read in the book than to be translated in a creepy horror show. That's perhaps why there was no place for suspense and thrilling moments and this should be for me the most important elements for a big successful ride. For these reasons it deserves not more than 4/10. Too overrated on IMDb.
