Nothing New Here...
|
Hoboken Hollow is yet another based on true events' slasher movie that isn't really based on true events, and is just another faded copy of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (I know that Chainsaw is loosely based on Ed Gein as is Psycho. That's as close to true events as this movie comes). This movie is yet another story of hitchhikers being picked up, taken to a farm, tortured and cannibalized. The cops are in on the whole thing (just like Texas Chainsaw) and in the end you end up just not caring.
This movie has some decent actors, like Michael Marsden and Dennis Hopper. They're in it for so few minutes they don't really add any spice to the movie. The acting itself isn't bad for such a movie, and the directing isn't bad, just indifferent. The story itself is tired in most places, and hollow in others. What I mean by that is some of the characters have issues that are mentioned, then never developed or not resolved, or completely ignored. Characters are murdered with little explanation before or after, which leaves the viewer scratching their head. Also, the subplot of Marsden's character wanting to buy the farm isn't developed too much either.
The torture/murder scenes are disturbing and if you enjoy watching those things, it might be worth viewing just for that. They are horrific, perhaps not as much as Hostel, but it's still enough to make the average person turn away in abject disgust. But if you're looking to watch a movie for any reason other than the torture scenes I would make another selection. This movie just isn't that good. Try watching the original Texas Chainsaw or even the remake of The Hills Have Eyes again.
Not recommended because of choppy plot, a recycled story, and uninteresting development of characters.
