Hoboken Hollow (2005)- *1\2
Directed By: Glen Stephens
Starring: Jason Connery, Michael Madsen, Dennis Hopper, and C. Thomas Howell
Hoboken Hollow is a disappointment.
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" for gosh sake. Tycus.)
