“Men create the messes, and women clean them up. “Hollow in the Land” is not interested in those men’s stories, but in the burden placed on a young woman whose brother and father have trashed her family’s reputation.”
“Writer-director Scooter Corkle’s feature debut “Hollow in the Land” is an earthy Canadian small-town thriller that recalls Debra Granik’s “Winter’s Bone”.”
“Hollow in the Land traffics in familiar rural thriller territory, but it features an excellent performance from its lead actress and a strong atmosphere of moody tension courtesy of its writer/director.”
