Reviews
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
karenstinson This movie is stupid. It is convoluted, incoherent and a waste of time to try to understand. It seems the only purpose of this "movie" is to exploit and abuse women and get away with it. I'm surprised the lead actress doesn't have shaken brain syndrome. The much larger male actor shook her violently in a way that would damage the neck and head. Seeing as how it was made in Korea, I would suspect there is no consequences for such behavior. Furthermore, I looked for her bio and found little info. I am wondering if she is over 18. I can't imagine what the purpose of this film was. I see no purpose. It was not scary, or interesting or entertaining. It was boring as the 1 star rating indicates, but mostly it was sick and twisted. The lead 2 actress also appeared physically abused and disrespected. There is no redeeming quality to this "movie". I wanted to vomit.
Claudio Carvalho "Black Hollow Cage" is a senseless film that seems to have been written by someone in a bad acid trip. The plot does not make any sense and is indeed a terrible rip-off of the storyline of 1993 "12:01" or "Groundhog Day" or even "The Butterfly Effect", with a repetitive night where things go wrong. The characters are not developed and the viewer ends the movie without understanding who they are and what are their motives. The bizarre situations are not explained and there is no clue for anything that happens. Surprisingly there are IMDB users that seem to have liked this flick. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): Not Available
TheLittleSongbird Was drawn into seeing 'Black Hollow Cage' with a cool poster/cover, a very intriguing and creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. 'Black Hollow Cage' is a film it doesn't do enough with its potential (although there are far bigger wastes of potential in film) and could have been much better, can't say that it is a great film because it isn't. It is not a terrible film though, as far as recent low-budget film viewings go it's one of the better and more watchable ones easily. It certainly could have been far worse, considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre at best and irredeemably terrible at worst.Lets start with the positives. The scenery is atmospheric and spooky and 'Black Hollow Cage' is surprisingly well shot and easy on the eye, was expecting a cheap looking film and to me that wasn't the case here. The music is suitably ominous.Found that the acting was not bad, doing their best with disappointingly nowhere near enough material to work with, found it better than average if not much more.Also that there were a few nice twists that intrigued and weren't telegraphed too early.Unfortunately, the story does feel paper thin, disjointed and over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. The less said about the weird dog character the better. The effects are ropy at best.Dialogue can be stilted and rambling, with lots of clichés and no depth whatsoever (definitely one of the worst assets), while the pace goes to a standstill very quickly and drags with very little going on worth caring about. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Tonally, it feels unfocused and muddled from trying to do too much.There are a good deal of underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical character motivations, while too many of the things to make you jump or shocked are far from creative or scary and are pretty tame. There is not enough threat here and what there is of it tends to be used poorly, it is completely unimaginative and more odd than creepy, with little sense of horror or urgency. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is leaden, inexperience seems to be all over the film. There is a general lack of creativity and shocks.Faring the weakest, other than the script, are the sound and editing. The sound is too echoey and often without warning or reason and makes some of the voices sound strange. The editing is haphazard and affects the coherence of some of the goings on and story structure.Overall, not great but worth a one time watch. 5/10 Bethany Cox
kosmasp It really is a shame when you see something and see a really good idea behind it ... but as the movie goes on realize that it does not do it justice. It's really a shame and the rating from other viewers seem to confirm that sentiment. We get a drama with Science Fiction and mystery touches. There are quite some neat ideas in this movie, even the "repetitions".But even when you find out about some of the twists (which in itself are really nice), they never blossom into something bigger. It might have to do with budget restraints or other problems/issues I'm not aware of (maybe producers interfering, maybe the screenwriter and/or the director going off the rails. Whatever the case, this feels very burden and the acting may be decent, but can not save this from falling of the cliff and shattering ... A real shame ...
