Alright, let’s talk about this Hollow Creek movie, you know, the one everyone’s yappin’ about. I ain’t no fancy movie critic or nothin’, just a regular person tellin’ it like it is.
First off, they say it’s a scary movie, a thriller they call it. Well, I’ve seen scarier things in my chicken coop, let me tell ya. But, it ain’t all bad, mind you. It’s about this fella, a writer, and his, well, his “special friend,” not his wife, you see. They go off to some cabin in the mountains, thinkin’ they’ll have a good time, I guess. Romantic getaway, the city folks call it. More like trouble brewin’ if you ask me.
Anyways, this writer, he’s supposed to be writin’ a book, a horror book at that. Seems like he’s got more on his mind than just writin’, if you catch my drift. And this “special friend” of his, she’s a looker, but seems kinda flighty. They get to this cabin, and wouldn’t ya know it, things start gettin’ weird.
- First, there’s talk about some missing boys. Poor little tykes, makes your heart ache just thinkin’ about it.
- Then, there’s this old fella, Burt Reynolds they say his name is. He’s only in it for a bit, but he’s good, real good. Plays the grandpa of one of them missing boys. Breaks your heart, seein’ him all worried.
Now, some folks say this movie ain’t worth a dime. They call it dismal, say it’s a waste of time. But I say, hold on a minute. It ain’t perfect, no sir, but it’s got its moments. The story’s alright, kinda keeps you guessin’, even if it ain’t the scariest thing you ever did see. And the actors, they do a decent job, ‘specially that Burt Reynolds fellow. He’s a natural, that one.
The movie, it’s kinda like this Stephen King fella’s stories, they tell me. I ain’t read none of his books, mind you, but folks say they’re spooky. This Hollow Creek, it’s got that same kinda feel, I guess. Mysterious, you know? Things ain’t what they seem, and you’re always wonderin’ what’s gonna happen next. That’s what keeps you watchin’, even when you’re thinkin’ maybe you should be doin’ somethin’ else, like washin’ dishes or feedin’ the chickens.
So, should you watch it? Well, that depends. If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to make you jump out of your skin, this ain’t it. But if you like a good mystery, somethin’ that keeps you thinkin’, then maybe you’ll like it. It ain’t the best movie ever made, but it ain’t the worst neither. It’s just… alright. And sometimes, alright is good enough, you know?
The acting is pretty good, like I said. And the scenery, them mountains, they’re somethin’ else. Makes you wanna pack your bags and head on out there yourself, ‘cept for all that scary stuff happenin’ in the movie, of course. You don’t wanna go gettin’ yourself mixed up in somethin’ like that.
And that writer, he’s kinda messed up, you know? Cheatin’ on his wife, writin’ all them scary stories. Seems like he’s got some demons of his own, even before he gets to that cabin. Maybe that’s the real horror of the story, not the missin’ boys or whatever’s lurkin’ in the woods, but the darkness inside people. Makes you think, don’t it?
So, there you have it. My two cents on this Hollow Creek movie. Take it or leave it. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, just a regular person tellin’ you what I think. If you got nothin’ better to do, give it a watch. Just don’t expect to be too scared. And keep an eye out for that Burt Reynolds fella, he’s the best part, if you ask me.
And one more thing, that “special friend,” she disappears too. Guess that’s what happens when you go messin’ around with married men in spooky cabins. Serves ’em right, some might say. But me, I just feel sorry for ’em all. Lost souls, the whole lot of ’em. That’s what that movie’s about, if you ask me. Lost souls and the darkness that follows ’em.
