Memorergi good film but with many flaws

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

zuhairvazir Combing of a crime scene in less than six minutes and that too with a completely outlandish and strange approach at creating film. A film that manages to task out most of the intricacies or disciplines within the large spectrum of the craft itself.Directed by Rodrigo Gudiño and Vincent Marcone, the film also manages to create conflict within the atmosphere with the help of a brilliant score.A viewing experience that I cannot stop going back to, in my head, to relish in joining the puzzle, trying to fit pieces together just to rearrange them when I return to that spot in the woods.The film is about a crime scene investigation of sorts. However nobody knows what the crime is even after watching some highly revelatory frames.My brain is still processing the levels on the 'intrigued to loved' emotions.

Rectangular_businessman This is a clever short animation.I liked the way in which "The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow" slowly reveals the many sinister details hidden in a apparently simple photography, showing how even the most innocuous elements could actually have a dark connotation on them.I liked a lot the atmosphere and the music from "The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow", which gave it an appropriate eerie feeling from beginning to end. And the "twist ending", despite being a bit predictable, worked very well in my opinion.8.5/10

jfgibson73 Total spoilers in this review.This is a short film that centers entirely on examining a still photograph. Except that it is animated and the photo has layers of depth. It's difficult to describe, but the photo looks like it is from the early 1900's with the amber tinting. We get a wide shot of the entire photo, then the camera moves in fluidly and zooms through layers of trees and around the dimensions of the photo to reveal details that are visually exciting, but also add layers of mystery as to what is going on.The photo is fairly simple at first glance--it seems to be several family members posing outside near their car. One man is kneeling down with a box of matches, ready to strike one. A couple poses with the bride holding what appears to be a newborn baby. One of the more ominous features of the photo is the look on the woman's face--confusion mixed with terror. The ending shows a close-up of the reflection in one character's sunglasses. Again, big spoiler here: it appears to be a witch/demon-like figure removing a hood to show her sinister face.I'm not sure it all adds up, but it is an interesting excercise. The director had done an earlier short called "The Eyes of Edward James," which also utilizes an unusual storytelling device. However, by the end of that piece, I felt like I had an idea of what might have happened. If there is an actual back-story to "Mr. Hollow," I can't piece it together or find any information on it. But the visuals are memorable and amazing.

larley I saw this tonight, during Nuit Blanche in Montreal at the Fantasia/DJ XL5 show at Place des Arts, and it just blew me away. I wanted to find it on YouTube, or even for sale, but no such luck. Now I want all of my film-fanatic friends to see it.I very much enjoyed the way it was shot, and the general feel of it all. The music was just plain awesome, and really worked well with the general aesthetic.Hopefully it will be made available in some way or another in the near future, as I'd love to watch it again.And congrats on the Genie nomination!
