West Virginia filmmaker turns extraction history into monster movie 'Dark Hollow'
Original: West Virginia filmmaker turns state’s history of extraction into monster movie ‘Dark Hollow’
A West Virginia filmmaker has made 'Dark Hollow', a monster movie that uses the state's history of resource extraction as its backdrop. The film channels the region's legacy of coal and timber industries into horror, drawing local attention for telling an Appalachian story through a homegrown lens rather than an outsider's view of the state.
Why now: Local audiences are drawn to a horror film rooted in West Virginia's own history and made by one of its own.
