Film Review – The Curse of Bridge Hollow

Halloween is big business, and movie selections for the scary month have been plentiful. Showing renewed life this year are pictures aimed at younger audiences, giving them a horror experience without the extremity of R-rated content. We’ve already had “Spirit Halloween: The Movie” and “Hocus Pocus 2,” and now “The Curse of Bridge Hollow,” which pits a father and daughter against an uprising of possessed Halloween decorations during the holiday. It’s being sold as a Marlon Wayans comedy, but it’s not nearly as crude as the actor’s previous forays into scary silliness, with director Jeff Wadlow (“Fantasy Island,” “Truth or Dare”) more interested in visual effects, giving the film a bit more punch in the thrills department. “The Curse of Bridge Hollow” isn’t particularly striking, but the production hopes to charm pre-teens with the endeavor, and it remains successful at that, offering a boisterous, mercifully short feature that’s big on Halloween events.
