The Haunting Of Fox Hollow Farm



Better Films about Fox Hollow Exist......
As many of the other reviewers have mentioned, this film is a very vanilla approach to a so-called, documentary about a haunting. If you would like to really learn the true details of the notorious, 1996 events at the 18-acre, Fox Hollow Farm, including news footage, photos and all the forensic details about the American Serial Killer, Herb Baumeister's crimes, then see the Paranormal Witness television show's version of the story (Season 2, Episode 8), which includes the haunted happenings as told by the real-life, new owners and tenant of the property, post-Herb. 11 bodies were found on the property after Herb ended his own life and 9 others were found elsewhere. I am not easily scared but the Paranormal Witness re-telling of this particular story was both chilling and riveting. The episode is right here on Amazon. Fox Hollow Farm

I'VE BEEN FOOLED
This is a very boring documentary of a bunch of psychics who visit the farm house of alleged serial killer Herb Baumeister, founder of the Sav-A-Lot thrift store chain in Indianapolis in 1988. Apparently Herb would pick up drunk gay men and bring them back to the farm and kill them in his indoor swimming pool, then bury them.

The crew uses an EVP to create unintelligent sounds which they are able to translate as voices. The highlight was when the hanging light moved a little. I had to chuckle when they brought in an "independent" psychic (apparently not one with the Psychic Network) who was able to feel something and she didn't know the history of the house! Of course if you go to great lengths to take a psychic anywhere they are going suspect a reason and feel something.

Unless you are a big fan of bad psychic entertainment, avoid this feature. Not worth watching for free.

Parental guide: No sex or nudity. Apparently the dead have a potty mouth and...

Review-I will tell you what, if this film is out to scare the sh*# out of you. It worked on that level, if this film is out to say it is a true occurrence and this is 100 percent fact, I am not a believer. This film runs around 64 minute and the first twenty go from night vision to camcorder to camera in seconds, just trying to cover as much ground as possible. Which is the main downfall of the first half to me, it just went back to forth, to forth to back without really building any characters. But, in the last 30 minutes with all the lights shut off and to follow what happens, it is just pure brilliance. This film scared me to the point I had to turn the light on at one point, and I am not scared easily. When the victim's voices start to be heard is when this film delivers on its promise. You are going to be creeped out and the best part is that the actors in the situations they are in are so believable that you and me would do and think the same stuff. The actors if they are actors...
