Directed By: Joe Dante
Two brothers, newly moved into an Oregon town with their single mother ( Teri Polo), uncover a sinister bottomless pit in their cellar basement. " You've got a gateway to hell under your house ," say the pretty blonde neighbour. Hell is subjective, for her ( Haley Bennet ), it is a tragedy from her childhood. For the 15 year old brother ( Chris Massoglia ) it is his violent convict father. For the younger boy ( Nathan Gamble ) it is puppets. And for the audience, none of this terribly scary . The Hole is a genial family horror lowkey and old school even in its 3d effects, which are fully exploited only in the final purgatorial decent.Director Joe Dante's first feture since 2003's Looney tunes : Back in action is a throwback to his pro-millennium Gremlins, Piranha and Small Soldiers. It is enjoyable as much as humorous warmth as the chills is teaching life lessons about confronting one's deepest buried fears.
