Scarecrow-88 If there was a way to make the Headless Horseman boring, then "The Hollow" done so. What a yawner! Taking place where the legend was born, the local caretaker (played by Stacey Keach who has certainly seen better days in his career, adding a lot of "Ye" to his sentences, trying to apply an accent that is laughable) tells a high school kid named Ian (teen heartthrob Kevin Zegers) he is the descendant of Ichabod Crane and that the Headless Horseman will be coming after him! At first a bit skeptical, Ian will soon be convinced when teenagers turn up missing, their heads lopped off by the Horseman's sword. This dull affair might be interesting for fans of Kaley Cuoco, as she portrays a love interest of Zegers, a hot cheerleader who has decided to usurp boy-band pop star Nick Carter's romantic advances (when Carter is a bully to you, might want to check your man card!). Judge Reinhold is positively wasted as Zegers' football coach father (he demands Ian's joining the football team, but his boy wants to fence instead), getting a little screen time as a pushy authoritarian whose demands are often unrequited. He even has to give up the remote to the wifey when she wants to watch a horror film on Halloween night. There's the hayride and Ichabod Sleepy Hollow ghost stories which Ian provides to townsfolk which take up time in the film but fail to elicit much in the way of creeps or thrills. Cuoco's character is refreshing in that she prefers Ian's nerd over Carter's jock. Later in the film, Cuoco is dressed in white face paint and a ghost bed sheet during the hayride "night of scares", having to follow behind Ian as the Headless Horseman (its jack-o-lantern head a rather unimpressive CGI creation) looks to chop off their heads. There's this bridge that seems to work as kryptonite against the Horseman. A tame sex season has a lady getting the down under treatment, with the felatio interrupted by the Horseman who takes off the guy's head. Carter and Zegers at odds over Cuoco gets plenty of rub, obviously. And you drunk graveyard caretaker Keach, looking worse for wear, telling anybody that will listen to get to safety as the Horseman was on the loose, doing the "Crazy Ralph" shtick (the "You're all doomed!" character from Friday the 13th).Shabbily produced and nary much in the way of severed head carnage, "The Hollow" craps out and never raises much in the way of chills. Skip this and watch "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" instead. Worth a look if you want to see Cuoco in a skimpy cheerleader outfit, but the thrills end there.

JRose553 I won't say much other than this movie was very boring, the script and acting was terrible, and I'm sorry that I bothered starting this movie that I turned off after sixty minutes.I understand that the actors have to work with what they are given, but Kaley Cuoco has come a long way in the past ten years. I don't know why directors insist on making main female characters in horror flicks so annoying.Stacy Keach was hamming it up, all in the name of a paycheck. Kevin Zegers did a fine job, at least for the first half, and thank goodness Nick Carter has a different day job. I would have rather watched him sing and dance for an hour than to have watched this garbage.

Aura V This movie cannot be cataloged only in horror movies, it is not really that scary, though there were a few scenes that frightened me. I find it rather enjoyable nothing that unusual to be R rated, I am 15 and I think I am quite grown-up for it. The acting was amazing, Kevin Zegers is cute and professional like always, his character is great. And Nick Carter's character was such an idiot, just something that didn't fit in. Beside that... The effects weren't so masterful, but it was definitely not a low budget movie. Kevin deserved this role and so did Kaley. It is in the same time a movie about a teenager pursuing his dreams and not his fathers. But Ben Scott was a genius as The Headless Horseman, you would never suspect the difference between him and Brody =)). I loved the movie, I could watch it every Hallowen.

Lelo34 First off, any movie that has Judge Reinhold as a main character should be immediately pulled off the shelf. Secondly movies like this really shouldn't try and follow 2 story lines. The Headless Horseman, and a strained father, son dynamic? Why? What's the point? Terrible, Terrible movie. There is some decent eye candy as far as ladies, but they make the least attractive the main character, maybe in this cast Kaley Cuocco passed as the only one who could act? Stacey Keach as the drunken grave keeper was pretty funny, what with his tossing "ye" in there every once in a while. All in all, it seems like more and more horror movies have you rooting for the characters to die, instead of rooting for them to escape. Someone needs to realize that having characters that are as annoying as nails on a chalkboard doesn't make for a very riveting, tension filled, horror movie
