Creatures of folklore prey on the young in THE HOLLOW CHILD, a supernatural chiller coming next week. The final trailer and poster have been released, and you can see them after the jump.

Vertical Entertainment releases THE HOLLOW CHILD next Friday, May 18.

The synopsis: “Highly intelligent and malicious creatures known as The Hollow Ones live in the woods and entice children with their hypnotic folklore music. Samantha [McLeod], a young foster teen, must fight to expose these dangerous supernatural impostors and save her younger sister who has been taken; otherwise, her soul will be lost forever.” See an exclusive clip from the movie here.
