Dante once again finds similar success in The Hole, merging juvenile concerns with darker stories.
September 28, 2012
Entertaining, with a welcome sense of mischief, The Hole plays to Dante's strengths, returning him to a suburban battleground where young characters face off against an unstoppable, often knee-high malevolent force.

A refreshing example of how to make a film for a specific demographic the right way. ... Smart, scary and fun as hell.

On the surface, Dante's movies are juvenile horrors with some movie-savvy comedy thrown in, but underneath they're among the most subversive entertainments being made today. Hopefully future generations will discover this silly, smart gem.

Curb your expectations and know you're going into a film about how curious children overcome their fears, not how malevolent darkness torments a group of unsuspecting "victims."

Cool it may be, but scary (or even mildly shudder-inducing) it ain't.

Sadly, the picture is just too mild for its own good.

No one understands that giddy rush of sugar buzz cinema better than director Joe Dante.

Not likely to give anyone outside of toddler range any nightmares, but it's still a smooth, smart, and eminently likable "rainy night" family film.

The Hole doesn't have the frantic wit of Dante's Gremlins 2 or the political import of his Small Soldiers, but it has something just as satisfying: a thorough understanding of the psychological underpinnings of the genre.

It's good to welcome back one of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema -- and adventurous kids will love it.

All the elements are here, they just don't add up to a satisfying whole.
