The Hole in the Ground (Blu-ray) [2019] [Region Free]

A pleasant surprise. A genuinely creepy little thriller, with two great performances from its leads, particularly young James Markey. The film takes its time executing its scares and they’re delivered really well. It’s superbly shot as well. Really enjoyable.

Awesome horror movie, really enjoyed it. Had no expectations, it surprised me all the way. A nice way to shot the genre.

Enjoyable slow burn horror film that features great performances, it's well shot and has a nice creepy atmosphere. Well worth a tenner of anyone's money.

Another great uk/Irish movie, unusual story, one of the better scarey kid movies, better than the boy, worth getting.

A surprisingly good horror film, it reminded me of the babadook which was really enjoyable.

Blu Ray decent quality, the film is watchable, not a classic, not bad.

I usually enjoy horror films and, having read the reviews of The Hole in the Ground, I couldn't wait to watch it. What a MASSIVE disappointment it turned out to be. To start off with, the cast consisted mainly of only two actors (a mother and her young son) and the storyline was extremely weak - in fact you didn't need to watch the movie as the entire story was printed on the cover. Mother and lad move into a new house on the edge of a forest, which happens to have an enormous sink hole in the ground. Son starts to exhibit strange behaviour, which gets more sadistic as the film progresses, and mother is convinced the sink hole is in some way responsible. Eventually she climbs down the hole to find out what's going on, but as virtually the entire movie was filmed almost in total darkness, it's impossible to work out what (if anything) she discovers. And that's it - yes, really, that is it. There was no satisfactory ending or explanation, as the next thing we see is a short scene of the son back at school and behaving perfectly normally, and then the film comes to an end. Take it from me, as a lifelong horror-movie fan - don't waste your money !

A very good film, well filmed and well acted.
