Get a hint of Suffolk’s accursed land in the UK found footage chiller, HOLLOW.

Hitting VOD this month from Tribeca Film, HOLLOW is a somber, often eerie and intimate creeper that follows four post-grads on the requisite weekend getaway. Naturally, all is doomed and the UK’s rich traditions of scary stories, as well as the gorgeous, melancholy landscape play right into it.

An old monastery in a small, remote village has been haunted by a local legend for centuries. Left in ruin and shrouded by the mystery of a dark spirit that wills young couples to suicide, the property has been avoided for years, marked only by a decrepit old tree with an ominous hollow said to be the home of great evil. When four friends on holiday become fascinated by the local folklore and turn it into an investigation of truth, they realize that belief in a myth can quickly materialize into reality, bringing horror to life for the town.

The excerpt picks up as lead Emma starts to uncover the grisly happenings of the area, and you'll get a good idea of the larger atmosphere at hand. For more on HOLLOW, keep an eye on Fango for words with director Michael Axelgaard and writer Matthew Holt.

HOLLOW is available on various forms of cable and digital VOD September 19.
