À propos de ce film

Sarah and her young son Chris move to a new home in the Irish countryside next to a forest that hides an enormous sinkhole. One night, Chris vanishes, and when he reappears he seems unharmed and unchanged. But, as his behavior grows increasingly disturbing, Sarah begins to fear that the boy who has returned may not be her son at all. The feature debut from writer-director Lee Cronin, The Hole in the Ground weaves suspense, terror, and supernatural folklore into a richly evocative story about the primal fears of motherhood.

Notes et avis

You don't really get to know any of the characters, you learn details about them halfway through the film by the time it's totally unnecessary (@ and hour in: the mom is a runner I guess?). It feels like this is a student film that was shot by a holly wood production company. visually it's awesome. The tone of the cinematography and atmosphere of the sets are on point, but the script is garbage, not scary at all, confusing dialog and character motivation, silly concept and not worth your time. 1 STAR

I sincerely hate this new wave of art nouveau horror. Is it too much to ask for oh, I don't know... a plot? The Hole in the Ground starts off promising enough, but falls into the trap of the filmmakers trying to show how intelligent they are at the cost of a decent storyline.

Started off creepy as all get out and I was prepared for a great thrill ride. Unfortunately it fell flat and I was left confused and disappointed . I almost want to watch it again to see if I can figure out where everything went off the rails after such a promising beginning.
