Reception

Hoboken Hollow received mostly negative reviews from critics upon its release, with many calling it "exploitive" of the events it was based on. Joe Leydon from Variety panned the film, writing: "Hoboken Hollow may very well be, as its opening credits insist, based on real-life events. But that doesn't prevent this indifferently made and luridly gory exploitation pic from coming off like formulaic fiction of the most repulsive sort". Sean Badgley from The Austin Chronicle gave the film one out of five stars, criticizing the film's one-dimensional and unsympathetic characters, "empty and ineffective" violence, and lack of scares. Phil Davies Brown from Horror Asylum offered the film similar criticism, calling the film "one of the worst films of the year", panning the film's acting, soundtrack, and perceived racism.
Alternately, Geno McGahee from ScaredStiffReviews gave the film a positive review, writing: "Hoboken Hollow proves that you do not need a big budget to create a good film. There is a 1970's feel to this film and it is paced very well, never letting up and building and building until the surprising conclusion".
