...This is a film only review for HobokenHollow (2005).
I actually wanted to get Wolf Creek out but it wasn't there so I ended up getting this out instead. On the back it sounded a similar sort of film - travellers going missing and end up meeting a psychpathic nutter, you know the usual stuff. Although I'd never heard of it, I thought that I would give it a go.
Well, this film is set in Texas (as they always are) and is supposed to be inspired by 'true life events'. How much is true I don't know but I think the key word here is 'inspired' .
THE PLOT
Travellers, immigrants and transients have a habit of going missing in the Hoboken ranch area in Texas. The Brodrick family that owns the ranch is only too happy to take in any travellers seeking work. Once there the unfortunate workers find themselves being kept as slaves with no hope...

Advantages: excellent storyline Disadvantages: none @ all
...It is the turn of the 19th century and a New York policemen is in mutiny with his superiors over his methods of crime, one day a notice comes in about the headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow, so to get rid of the mutiny the officer is sent to sleepy hollow, a case never to be forgotten.
As the film goes on more and more people within the community of Sleepy Hollow are murdered. Suddenly a pattern occurs, the officer notices this and with the help and protection from his witch lady friend they solve the case.
This is a excellent film, suppose to be a horror movie, but it has various humourous areas.
9/10...
