Screams low budget from the first scene
Disappointing
The murder of one hiker and the attempted murder of the other ought to have lended a seriousness to this project. Yet the Sheriff is dismissive, sarcastic and poorly acted. At the beginning of the film it is announced that this was based on real events. I still would have cut the film differently.
This movie could have been a murder mystery or a search for the killer. Instead we are served a nasty scene of girls getting shot and bleeding.
Films are a series of images. Music is written with notes and rests. The best poetry is implied, never stated directly. "Dead Woman's Hollow" puts a nude female on a railroad track as one end of the film and the dishonestly hunchy sheriff threatening a black man at the other end.
I wish the hikers had not been attacked. I wish I had not watched this unattractive movie.
