 Very Dark "Hole" April 10, 2009

I have to say I was rather impressed with this film...one of those that didn't really appear in theaters that I recall, but that I caught on cable one particularly drab weekend afternoon a few years ago and to this day I remember it well. It's a dark tale of teen love, err more like lust and sex, the neediness of belonging, and what people are willing to do or allow to happen when confronted with the opportunity to have what/who they want. You'll recognize a few faces including the one of the cover on the dvd, though her's isn't the main character. There are moments of poor acting/dialogue, however, the emotional reactions fuel and continue to feed into your paranoia and concern for all the characters in some way. All unravels as it should and in the end all you want is the guilty party to be put into the bunker to suffer for their selfish crime.
 When Control Trumps Life... April 4, 2009

Liz Dunn (the magnificent Thora Birch!) is the only survivor of a group of prep-school kids' secret gone horribly wrong. The four (including the delectible Keira Knightly!) decide to spend their time partying in a long-forgotten, underground bomb shelter rather than go to Wales w/ the rest of the students. It was supposed to be a fun way to get out of a class trip, but it turned into a lethal dungeon of suffocating madness. Liz and her friends are changed from free-sprited youths into starving, thirsty, utterly desperate prisoners. A police psychologist (Embeth Davidtz) attempts to unravel the mystery behind what actually happened in THE HOLE, only to find out that some things are better left buried. Ms. Birch is as understated as ever, carrying most of the movie herself. Some of her character's words are chilling, not so much for what she says, but for what's going on around her when she says them! Buy immediately...

The Bottom Line:
Though never released stateside, The Hole is a succesfully off-putting and claustrophobic tale that takes a nightmarish scenario to a fitting conclusion; while the story admittedly is never as good above ground as it is while in the "Hole," overall it's a very engaging movie.
Awesome movie! December 31, 2008

This ia a great movie and I would definetly recommend that you go out and buy it! Keira is hot, and even though she is not the main character you see enough of her. A mind trip, but not a horror. Buy it today!
