Name: Hollow
Genre: Short, Fantasy, Horror
Released: 2014-09-25
Duration: 5 min
Rating: 5.6
Cast: James Norton, James Krishna Floyd, Keith Ackerman

This has a large cast of extras for such a short piece and is filmed in super-widescreen over one continuous shot. Impressive cinematography in itself. There is only one line of script in the whole thing, by James Norton as the hands of the party guests crave his touch. Apart from this dialogue, the soundtrack is background and environmental sounds only, like shoes and laughter adding to the atmospheric presentation. It is an interesting if nonsensical modern commentary on gluttony, debauchery, depression and heroes. I didn't understand it without the intro. As side notes, that's a nice Katana Koji carries in, and Floyd is hard to recognise without the trademark stubble.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The mystery genre features the investigation and solving of a puzzle, typically a crime or an enigmatic event. Mysteries are known for their suspenseful narratives, intricate plots, and the challenge they present to readers or viewers to piece together clues and solve the central mystery alongside the characters.
