Pros:
Creepy atmosphere. Edge of your seat suspense.
Cons:
Minor bloopers not worth mentioning.
I was surprised after reading another epionioner's review on THE HOLE. I personally found the movie to be original, suspenseful, and most importantly, real.
Thora Birch plays Liz, the main character of the movie who is receiving psychological help after having survived in an underground war shelter for 18 days. She and three fellow classmates ditch a school trip and decide to party for the weekend in an old underground war shelter (the hole). However, when the door to the shelter is locked and the four friends do not have a way out, the party comes to a terrifying end when they realized they are trapped inside.
The viewer isn't made aware right away of exactly how the four friends were locked inside the shelter. Liz tells her story to her psychologist while another student who Liz accused of locking them inside tells his side. The viewer is left in suspense trying to figure out who is telling the truth, and once the truth is known, why?
There isn't much more I can say without giving too much away, but just know that not everyone will get out alive.
This movie is a true psychological thriller and will keep the viewer thinking on the edge of their seat until the stunning climax.
The DVD presents this movie in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Digital Surround Sound.
Special features include deleted scenes, an image gallery, theatrical trailer, cast and crew biographies, director commentary, and a french language track.
