A Slow-Burn Folk Horror with Strong Atmosphere

Hillock Haunting is an indie horror film that leans heavily on mood and family drama rather than outright terror. The story follows a grieving man and his two daughters as they move into their late father's farm, only to encounter unsettling occurrences tied to the land. Director Ashley Hays Wright crafts a thick, foreboding atmosphere-rolling fog, creaking barns, and eerie animal sounds create a sense of isolation. Mike Cotton delivers a solid performance as the conflicted protagonist, and the dynamic between the daughters adds emotional weight. However, the horror elements are frustratingly sparse. While the film excels in slow tension, it never quite delivers a truly terrifying payoff. The climax feels rushed, and some plot threads are left unresolved. Fans of slow-burn, atmospheric horror might appreciate its tone, but those seeking jump scares or a gripping supernatural threat will be disappointed. Worth a watch for its visuals and mood, but not a standout in the genre.

More Drama Than Horror, but Still Engaging

While marketed as a horror film, Hillock Haunting feels more like a family drama with light supernatural elements. The story centers around a father and his daughters who inherit a remote farm, only to face mysterious happenings that may or may not be linked to their father's final wishes. The cinematography does a good job of capturing the rural isolation, and the performances, especially from the younger cast, are emotionally grounded. However, horror fans may be disappointed by the lack of scares and suspense. There's a mood of unease throughout, but it never truly escalates into anything terrifying. Still, the film offers a touching story about family bonds, responsibility, and the unseen weight of inheritance.

Promising Concept, Flawed Execution

While Hillock Haunting boasts an intriguing premise and strong production values. The first act establishes compelling family dynamics and a genuinely creepy setting, but the narrative loses focus as it progresses. Several potentially terrifying sequences are undermined by poor lighting choices that make it difficult to discern what's happening. The screenplay introduces fascinating folklore elements that are never fully explored, leaving the audience with more questions than answers. Mike Cotton's performance is the film's saving grace, bringing much-needed emotional weight to otherwise flat character arcs. The climax, while visually striking, feels unearned and rushed. At 98 minutes, the film drags in places where it should terrify, and the few effective scares are too far between. Horror fans might appreciate the atmosphere, but most will find it forgettable.
