The Hole in the Ground [Sub: Eng]
Perhaps we are going to have more horrific events here than a woman still living a life of terror. That story began with Sarah O'Neill, trying to escape her broken past as she tries to build a new life on the edge of a rustic backyard town with her young son Chris. This place may seem too bad, as a terrifying encounter with a mysterious neighbor would destroy its fragile security and perhaps it would end up being a nightmare in that house that seemed to carry a very strange thing.

The Hole in the Ground never seeks to differentiate itself from the established horror movie aesthetic: we get creepy jangling lullaby music, a decrepitly old hooded women mumbling to herself ominously, bare feet on creaking wooden floors, broken mirrors.February 26, 2019
The Hole In The Ground finds a somewhat fresh angle on the possessed-kid subgenre.January 31, 2019
