I bought this as part of a box set of 8 movies for $5.00... It wasn't worth the 62 cents. That's all I wanted to say but this has to be 10 lines. There really isn't anything else that can be said about this movie. Don't waste your time. I've seen paint dry that is more interesting than this sham of a tale. If i can help one person not go through what I just went through I'll consider this review a success. Is this 10 lines yet? Honestly, reading this terrible review is better than watching the movie. I don't know how its possible that so many actors signed on after reading this script. I guess Dennis Hopper's career was officially over in 2006. This movie is going on my list of movies i'm embarrassed to ever mention i've seen.

I was actually quite looking forward to this one- sounded good, promising cover and based on true events. What more could you ask for? Well, the short answer to that is anything that wasn't this. I've seen some stinkers in my time, but this has to rate as one of the worst. A very noteworthy cast- Dennis Hopper, Michael Madson, Lyn Shaye and oh.... C. Thomas Howell and Jason Connery. If Connery Jnr is in anything, you know it's going to be cheap and BAD. The actual story is very fragmented- you don't actually know why they're killing people, least of all I couldn't make it out apart from being sadists with a pathetic little cattle prod that kept poking people in the neck. Its a very basic version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre for kids- implied cannibalism, a hulking big brother with limited intelligence, and general lunacy all round. A rape for no apparent reason to the plot, people who could have escaped but decided they liked it there, a lot of rubbish about Cedar wood that was just dull, and a mentally challenged fat madman who wasn't after all. The whole thing just stunk. If you're thinking of watching this- please don't.

"Hoboken Hollow" is a disappointment.The plot: Trevor (Connery) is a war veteran trying to take life easy and hitchhiking his way to California. While hitchhiking, a trucker named Clayton (Howell) asks him for help on his ranch. Trevor agrees only if he can leave the next day. Trevor finds out very quickly that the ranch is filled with deranged lunatics who like to torture and kill their helpers.It's a good idea for a movie but it just doesn't work because the pacing is lethargic and the scares are minimal. Howell does a decent job as one of the killers, but Connery is wooden.If you're thinking "Hey, Madsen and Hopper are in it! It can't be all bad...." well, I'm sorry, you're wrong this around. Hopper is in this for about two minutes and he basically says the same line over and over: "I'll give you a lift to the next town". Madsen has it worse because once again, as in "The Covenant: Brotherhood Of Evil" he has an obviously phony mustache. 2005 was the "glued on facial hair stage" in his career. One more thing: Anthony Michael Hall was one of the producers of this mess. Odd...."Hoboken Hollow" is a very poor flick, that you should only watch if you're a Madsen or Hopper completist (I've seen "Tycus" and "The Prophet's Game" with Dennis and "Flat Out" with Mike. I deserve a medal. Not Really.) For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

I am starting to think a lot of the people on here watch too many daytime sitcoms. Apparently no-one here realised that only one person in this whole cast could act. Dennis Hopper. I'm surprised to see him in a film like this...actually I'm not. Now that i remember he was also in "memory"", a film which had, albeit a lesser, problem of bad actors. But that film was 100 times better than this trash.The farmers and the workers all must be the WORST actors i have ever seen. none of them delivered their lines in anything close to a convincing manner. The direction was TERRIBLE, very clunky, bad angles, bad editing, and the narration was so corny.I tried to like this film because i am often guilty of enjoying horror films that are bagged by many but there is a main difference...they usually have good direction and capable actors. this movie had none.The idea was good, but so, so poorly executed. Anyone who disagrees watches too much badly acted soaps.PS Whoever said it was scary that "most of this actually happened" is clearly a victim of buying into the "based on a true story" thing without even researching. Police found bone fragments of one person, whom they were unable to identify. Only one person was missing (presumed dead). Creative license was handed out greatly on this one. And the movie still sucked.
