When four teenagers use an old wartime under ground bunker to have a secret party and only one of them returns it is up to the psycologist to work out what happend down there.
I was suprised by this one, I didnt really exspect that much of a plot to be in this film but as it unfolded I found it to be a very dark film with a very strange motive that is taken to the extreme. As well as being a horror film I also found it to be a very dark and alternative love story. One of the main things that hit me during this film is the amazing camera work. from the slo mo shots to the sped up out of fucus ones. and also numerous "steady cam" shots give this film a real sence of atmosfear and confusion amongst every one. The story is told in a variety of flash backs that are told to the pycologist and it is up to the veiwer to create their own beliefs of what happend on the hole as she often makes things up for reasons I will not go into. A very think plot and a compelling story line make this one of the best horror films of recent years in my opinion. Plus just to make it an extra bonus one of the best BRITISH films of recent years to.
I would definently suggest this film to people especialy if you dont mind your horror films not being action packed and full of blood as this is more of a thinking mans horror film

It was an OK film. Thora Birch is a total hottie. But I'd watch Session 9 over this one any day.

Swimfan: its out already! i rented the DVD at Blockbuster, so its not gonna be hard to find at all! The Hole was Well made, but I'm just getting tired of the flashback cliche movies... I hope Thora Birch is acting 'till she's eighty.

Excellent movie..........I didn't know what to expect (I was not disappointed) The movie had an eerie creepy feeling throughout. Great performance by Thora Birch.

The Hole 8/10

A very good flick, featuring yet another awesome peformance from the white-hot Thora Birch.
This girl is one special talent, with the beauty to match...and that BODY! Wow!!
I wonder if the recent revelation that her parents were porno stars from the '70's is hurting her career. She is currently filming a LIFETIME movie in Vancouver ferchrissakes! The girl deserves BETTER than that!
By the way, have you all caught her scorching Eclipse commercials? The girl is sexxy beyond belief....

THE HOLE

I loved this film which was unusual since most of my friends did not seem to like as much as I did suppose that's the beauty of independant thought.
However I still have purchase it which is strange considering I like it so much?

8/10

I liked this film. It had a neat concept and I liked the claustrophobic feel it gave. Plus it had thora birch which make me happy.
