“In my ten years of IMDb activity, I have never come across a movie with such laughably fake u0026#39;reviewsu0026#39;. I perfectly understand how tastes vary and that one personu0026#39;s hidden gem can be anotheru0026#39;s stinking turd. But u0026#39;Hollowu0026#39; is, by any objective criteria, pure garbage. The favorable reviews posted here can not possibly be genuine. The movie could have been enjoyably average: a mildly interesting idea squeezed into the found-footage formula of u0026quot;The Blair Witch Projectu0026quot;. Itu0026#39;s problem lies squarely with its characters. In real life, panicky people annoy me. You know the type I mean: blubbering and hyperventilating and getting all mindlessly hysterical. I just want to slap them and tell them to grow a spine. My annoyance becomes outright anger when such people are made the protagonists of a movie. And donu0026#39;t tell me itu0026#39;s u0026quot;realismu0026quot;: millions of people the world over deal with crazy s**t every year without curling up in a ball and begging for death. Every character in u0026quot;Hollowu0026quot; runs around screaming and crying, whining and bickering, doing absolutely nothing to help themselves or each other. Every one of them is unbelievably selfish and displays the intelligence of a mildly retarded pre-schooler. Theyu0026#39;re just so pathetic itu0026#39;s impossible to feel any sympathy, still less empathy. Iu0026#39;m at a loss to understand why movies are made about such people. Why am I supposed to care what happens to them? Why should I bother watching? Complete waste of time: very tough to sit through.”
