Dead Woman's Hollow

When I got this movie, I had no expectations besides a typical low-budget slasher flick. I was surprised! It wasn't that at all! There is a horror element to the story, but more a psychological horror. The flow of the story got me interested, and as it went along, kept me there. Granted, the acting isn't Pacino or even Eastwood, but the low-budget, for lack of a better term, keeps the story feeling real, so to me, it works. There is some nudity in the movie, and as with many independent movies, it could have turned obligatory. But it isn't here. If fact, without giving away any story, when I saw the girls, I felt bad for them. They were successful in making those scenes sympathetic. I really liked the soundtrack. Great choice of composer and music. Again, it works. My favorite characters were the sheriff with his low-key approach, and Ranger Swanson's humorous delivery. I do recommend Dead Woman's Hollow to fans of psychological thrillers. I found it a good watch.

Rubbish indy movie one of the worst ive seen. The only thing the movie has going for it is the nudity scenes and thats it. It leaves so much to be desired when the credits suddenly come up. I would go into more detail but ive already wasted nearly 2 hours of my lifeon this film.

I expected to at least know the story and the outcome of the investigation since this was based on a "true story". many times the flow of the movie dragged on...The music, acting, and camera work were awful. Do not waste your time or $ on this heap of crap.

I took an edible. The music is pretty good. Everything else is fine. Like very obviously made with money from delivering pizzas but I'd order from the director to find the next one. Oh damn pizza sounds good. I like their accents. What is that, Pennsylvania? Maryland? Illinois? Somewheres in there. Kept expecting someone to say they were gon' get soome ice wodder.

Oh and boobs. Also the shutter sound doesn't match the camera. Kind took me out of it.

Shoot what else? I like the waitress's name was Busty. Because like, damn. I wonder if she was cast because they had a character named Busty or if she walked in and they were like hoooly mooly, we gotta change the name of Flat-Chested Ronda!

Anyway I hope you like it. Good job everyone. Especially the women cast members because y'all had to be naked a lot and it looked cold out there in the woods.

Maddie emerges from the woods naked and starts walking the train track to town, eventually a couple of EMTs catch up to her and take her to the hospital.

Then we meet s young man at the Sheriff's department who is looking for his missing girlfriend. The sheriff gets a call to the morgue and then visits the hospital.

We then flashback to two women who are traveling to do some hiking and a photoshoot along the Appalachian trail. Donna (Sarah Snyder) and Jen (Mel Heflin) are doing a photoshoot to raise attention to domestic violence, with Jen being the subject of the photographs. Donna and Jen think that they are alone in the woods, but suddenly they encounter a strange man wondering aimlessly around the woods. They run into each a couple of times. He creeps them out. They're lost and decide to set up camp, as to not be in the middle of the woods after dark. The creepy man, Leroy joins them at their campfire. Is Leroy the one responsible for the women's fate?

Dead Woman's Hollow is an okay thriller. Running about an hour and forty five minutes it could use some trimming. This would have made a better 75-80 minute movie. I'd imagine that Mel Heflin is the main draw to this film. She is why I chose to watch this movie.
