The 31 Spooky Movies of Halloween continues with HOLLOWS GROVE (2014), a found-footage horror movie about a documentary crew tagging along with a paranormal investigation team as they explore an abandoned orphanage with a very unpleasant history.
On paper, that sounds like exactly the kind of thing I should enjoy. Haunted building? Paranormal investigators? Found footage? Creepy orphanage? Throw in somebody whispering “Did you hear that?” into a night-vision camera and I should be completely on board.
Unfortunately, Hollows Grove bored the hell out of me.
There are some decent ideas buried in here, and the setup certainly has potential, but for far too much of the movie I felt like I was waiting for something — anything — to happen. A creepy location can only do so much heavy lifting before I start wondering whether the ghosts themselves got bored and went home.
So is there enough lurking inside Hollows Grove to make the slow burn worthwhile, or is this one haunted attraction you can safely drive past?
Find out in my review!
