The Hollow-----Rated R????????


How could it be rated R if it is a TV movie? That makes no sense. Unless they sell an unedited version somewhere. But isnt it kinda stupid? I mean all they say is "damn" and "hell" not exactly R rated!!!!!!!!!

The Hollow was supposed to be theatrical release but for some reason or another was sent directly to TV. The unedited version has more language, violence, and sex but this was all cut out for ABC Family Channel viewing. When the DVD comes out maybe they'll include all of the missing footage.

Well. When is the dvd coming out? Cuz I want to see the unedited version. Cuz you see all these horror movies on tv and it just looks pathetic, right?

The Hollow was never intended for a Theatrical release. I was intended for a direct to video release - however, someone decided it should hit TV first - must have had very low test screenings.

The DVD is supposed to have a lot more violence and sex, but there was really only one extra scene that stood out that would make it R.

The version I saw had lots of headless bodies and a male teenager getting his head chopped off while going down on a girl. That is no PG stuff.

^ Like they said, that one oral scene sent it into rated R status. Funnily, they left that part in on ABC Family and cut out the cursing.
