Hollowbody is a British horror triumph, but blurs the line between homage and rip-off


Hollowbody's familiar magic doesn't lie in otherworldly places. It lies in the rubble of the ordinary.

Though ostensibly set in a future of flying cars and holographic IDs, Hollowbody's world is one that most of us would recognise - and I don't just mean its damp, dark British weather. Make me paw through a kitchen where the plates from last night's meal are still stacked up in the sink, or force me to rummage through someone's bedroom where a body melts into the bedsheets and the book they were reading sits exactly where it was left, mouldering on the bedside table? Fans will find plenty familiar - from Hollowbody's similar-sounding soundtrack, use of a pocket flashlight, and its inventory screen - here, even down to the sounds of you moving through your items.
