Hello everyone, I don't speak English very well, but I was not too lazy to even go to the translator. Looking for a super low budget version of Grave Encounters? So this is it. The film absorbed all the disadvantages, weaknesses at the same time losing the main advantages of Grave Encounters - the atmosphere of horror, appropriate humor flowing first into a thriller and then into a full-fledged horror. The director of this film, as well as the rest of the crew with the exception of Lance Henriksen, did not give anything worth watching either before or after this film. Who gave the money for this? Why does this even have one star at all? This is an excellent guide to how not to make films, how not to write a script, how not to act and how not to make scenery. Don't waste time on this movie, especially if you are a horror fan (like me) because you will experience pain and shame from this movie.
Plot summary
FBI Agent Jones (Mykelti Williamson) is making a documentary about unusual happenings. He follows a young filmmaker (Matthew Carey) who is shooting behind-the scenes of a Ghost Hunting reality show featuring his friends, "The Spirit and Paranormal Investigation Team" (Matt Doherty, Sunkrish Bala and Bresha Webb). They head out to their next assignment in an old, abandoned and rumored-to-be haunted orphanage, Hollows Grove. Most of their haunts for the show are created by their special effects technician Bill (Lance Henriksen). But what they thought would be a routine investigation is turning into a nightmare from which they cannot escape.

Just read review and forget this film.
A bit like a theatrical version of ghost adventures or most haunted
Hollow's grove is not a very good film at all, the plot is very simple, go into scary place and get scared for an hour. The acting is sub-par and the scares aren't clever, it does a decent job in places of building tension but that's it. It reminded me of those ghost hunting shows they have on the television but this time they don't bother to pretend it's real.
2/10: Poor acting and a rubbish cliched script make this an awful watch
Terrible Acting, Decent Script
The acting is pretty bad. The guy who plays Chad is the best of the lot I'd say. Matt Doherty is up there in the absolute worst horror movie actors I've seen. I actually looked him up on IMDb just to see who he was and what other acting jobs he'd gotten, which is when I decided to leave a review. There were a couple scenes where I laughed out loud from the absurdity of his acting.
The plot and script are decent. Overall, if it's a rainy day, you've blown through everything on Netflix that looks good to you, and you have nothing else to do, give it a look. There are some okay jump scares and a few creepy moments. Lance Henriksen was a pleasant surprise. It's always interesting to see where he'll pop up.
