Hollow Body is a 2018 music-focused horror movie, directed by Alex Keledjian, starring David Arquette, Allie Gonino, and Ryan Donowho. The movie tells the story of a struggling rock band, which finally gets their big break when a record label signs them. The band's frontman, Jimmy, (Donowho) is the lead singer and guitarist, Ava (Gonino) is the keyboardist, and Scott (Arquette) is the bassist.
As their success grows, Ava becomes haunted by the ghost of a former band member, whose spirit has been inadvertently trapped inside the guitar she now plays. Ava discovers that by playing the instrument, she can channel the dead woman's spirit and her guitar-playing skills, as well as her memory of unfinished business. The guitarist's past becomes a dangerous strength for the band as they begin to get famous and Ava's abilities with the guitar grow more powerful.
Although the band members face a variety of challenges, the biggest one is when Ava's newfound talent and inspiration start to blur the lines between her own spirit and that of the dead guitarist. The band, Ava in particular, struggles to put together their record and touring schedule, all while dealing with this strange and otherworldly influence.
The tension in the movie builds as Ava becomes more and more obsessed with playing the guitar, and Jimmy becomes less and less supportive. As the band members battle their own demons, they must face the fact that something terribly wrong is happening. The vintage guitar that Jimmy gifted to Ava is not only haunted but also possesses supernatural powers that they can't control.
David Arquette plays the bassist Scott, who becomes increasingly concerned and wary of Ava's attachment to the guitar. He tries to keep the peace in the band but ultimately falls victim to the effects of the guitar's influence. As the situation grows more unstable, the boundaries between the living and the dead become blurred, and the band must face their own demons as well as those from the past.
Hollow Body is an unusual combination of horror and music, both of which create an unusual but highly effective atmosphere throughout the movie. With just the right mix of suspenseful scenes, imaginative use of music, and unexpected twists, Hollow Body demonstrates Keledjian's exceptional talent as a horror movie director.
The relatively small but talented cast, including David Arquette, Allie Gonino, and Ryan Donowho, deliver strong performances that add depth to their characters. The movie is also visually compelling, with the effects of the guitar's influence visualized with interesting camera angles and a creative use of lighting.
The music in the movie is entertaining and impressive, with original songs that keep the audience at the edge of their seats. The movie's soundtrack perfectly complements the eerie and sinister tone of the story.
Overall, Hollow Body delivers a perfect blend of horror and music. It features strong performances from an impressive cast and offers a storyline that will keep you guessing until the very end. If you are looking for something that is different from the typical horror movie, Hollow Body is the perfect fit.
