Hollow
Stars: Emily Plumtree, Sam Stockman, Matt Stokoe, Jessica Ellerby | Written by Matthew Holt | Directed by Michael Axelgaard
Picture the scene, two couples in the countryside with a video camera, a dead relative and a cursed tree. Yes, you picked out the warning sign there, the video camera. What we have in Hollow is yet another found footage film. 2012 was quite a year for this style of film and some may have hoped that we’d have less of them but with this, V/H/S and Grave Encounters 2 being released with just a few weeks between them the trend is still continuing. Now just to see how good Hollow actually is.
The story revolves around a group of friends who have a weekend away at a village in Suffolk that have a legend surrounding an ancient tree which is said to hold an evil spirit within it’s hollowed out interior.

Zero Dark Thirty (15)
(Kathryn Bigelow, 2012, Us) Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Reda Kateb. 157 mins
The controversy over this film's use of torture is a reflection of how problematic it is to classify. Is it a historical dramatisation? A factual reconstruction? A post-Bourne spy thriller? Whatever it is, it's state of the art film-making: lean, snappy, tense, gripping and as single-minded as its heroine in the 10-year pursuit of Bin Laden. But there's still much room for complexity and ambiguity. Yes, that pursuit involves torture, but also intelligence, personal determination and, ultimately, action – all of which Bigelow is well-equipped to convey.

The film premiered at the Fantasia Film Festival, and is currently available on VOD, iTunes and Amazon. To read our review of the movie, head on yonder, but be sure to stick around for our conversation with Matthew Holt and Michael Axelgaard.

Michael Axelgaard (director): Yeah, I’m originally from Denmark, but they kicked me out of there, and got kicked out of university and now the only place that would accept me is the U.K. I’ve been living in London for the last, gosh, five years now.

Though many think of the British countryside as the setting for the novels of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, Hammer Films in particular has made good use of the crumbling old manors and remote locations to showcase the true creepiness of the British Isles. Most recently in The Woman in Black (2012) and Wake Wood (2011) Britain was shown as a land filled with tortured ghosts that suffered from Victorian oppression and pagan mysticism. Director Michael Axlegaard takes all of these themes and shoves them into a haunted tree in the new found-footage chiller Hollow.

Tribeca released Hollow on VOD yesterday, and we have a trailer and poster for you to check out:
“An old monastery in a small, remote village in Suffolk, England has been haunted by a local legend for centuries. Left in ruin and shrouded by the mystery of a dark spirit that wills young couples to suicide, the place has been avoided for years, marked only by a twisted, ancient tree with an ominous hollow said to be the home of great evil. When four friends on holiday explore the local folklore, they realize that belief in a myth can quickly materialize into reality, bringing horror to life for the town.”
Hollow was directed by Michael Axelgaard, written by Matthew Holt, and stars Emily Plumtree, Sam Stockman, Jessica Ellerby, and Matt Stokoe.

Title: Hollow Director: Michael Axelgaard Starring: Emily Plumtree, Jessica Ellerby, Sam Stockman, Matt Stokoe A world premiere at last year’s Fantasia Film Festival, British import “Hollow” cashes in on the found footage revival kicked off at least in part by 2009′s “Paranormal Activity,” telling the story of a quartet of friends who suffer a dark turn of events in a remote village in Suffolk, England that’s been haunted for centuries by a local legend. Solid, largely naturalistic performances and a nice technical package help offset a story whose bump-in-the-night eerieness reaches a certain level of diminishing return long before the end of its 95-minute running time, rendering “Hollow” a marginal recommendation for hardcore genre enthusiasts.

October is right around the corner, and have we got a scary movie for you... Directed by Michael Axelgaard, Hollow is a found-footage horror flick direct from the English countryside. Inspired by the real-life folklore, the film follows Emma (Emily Plumtree), who, along with her boyfriend Scott (Matt Stokoe) and their friends Lynne (Jessica Ellerby) and James (Sam Stockman), decide to holiday in the eerie village of Dunwich, where Emma grew up. Prompting their curiosity, Emma tells the group about the legend of an ominous tree that looms over her family's property. When Emma and her friends uncover the grisly history of the tree, they inadvertently disturb a horror that has terrorized the countryside for centuries. Written by Matthew Holt, Hollow is a worthy entry into the fresh and terrifying new wave of modern British horror. From across the pond, we interviewed the team of Michael Axelgaard and Matthew Holt...

Directed by: Michael Axelgaard
Starring: Emily Plumtree, Sam Stockman, Jessica Ellerby
Rating: Not Yet Rated
Release Date: September 19, 2012
Trailer Score: 3/10
Thoughts by Tsr: Oh, I see we’re still doing the thing where we pretend this is totally real footage showing these poor folk’s torturous last moments on Earth. Great. It wouldn’t be so bad if the idea still felt fresh, but this comes off as a hodgepodge of films that have come before, some of which already felt like retreads. There are shades of The Blair Witch Project, Kill List, and virtually every recent found footage horror movie throughout. While I’ve enjoyed a handful of those films, this trailer did little for me.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say I’m disappointed it doesn’t look better, but the adequately creepy premise makes me hope the finished product proves more successful. I mean,...

Anyone who has visited Great Britain knows that you cannot visit any village over there (big or small) without virtually stumbling over the damnedest pieces of history and ghost stories. It should come as no surprise that someone would make an England-based found-footage horror film using just such a premise. Michael Axelgaard did exactly that and his debut film is called "Hollow". This is the official synopsis: "An old monastery in a small, remote village in Suffolk, England has been haunted by a local legend for centuries.

★★☆☆☆ Was ever a film more aptly named than Hollow (2011), the new indie Brit horror from first time director Michael Axelgaard and writer Matthew Holt? Like the tree at the centre of the story its suitably gnarled exterior hides little real substance, and the sinister tale of four twenty-somethings (Emily Plumtree, Matt Stokoe, Jessica Ellerby and Sam Stockman) whose lives are irrevocably effected by its malignant influence, is high on old school shocks but little else.

A group of friends visiting an old house are increasingly disturbed by the tales associated with the sinister tree outside.
Opening with an unseen (but heavily breathing) cameraman circling a gigantic tree before peeking through a large crack in its trunk to the shadowy hollow within, Michael Axelgaard's feature debut announces itself from the very outset not just as a probing journey into the dark, but as yet another addition to the growing body of 'found footage' horror films.

The latest entry in the now-fully formed horror subgenre of the found-footage film, Hollow, had its World Premiere here at Fantasia this past weekend, and I had the opportunity to sit down with the film’s director, Michael Axelgaard, and its writer-producer, Matthew Holt. The film concerns a group of four friends who travel to an area called Suffolk, which contains a tree of legend associated with heinous events. We talked about the myths of the film, the limits and joys of low-budget moviemaking, and the unsettling habits of foxes.

Having its world premiere today as part off the Fantasia Festival in Montreal is Michael Axelgaard's new found footage horror film Hollow. Boasting unusually strong performances and characters - to say nothing at all of the unusual, leafy nature of its villain - Hollow puts a fresh enough spin on the found footage style of horror film to make an impact. The picture revolves around a quartet of friends and a mysterious tree, a tree that stands at the center of centuries of legends and has been the site of multiple hangings and suicide pacts. Could it be that the legends are true and the tree's malevolent influence is seeping into the group?The first trailer for the film has just arrived and it's an...
