Critic Reviews

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    Has a good ambiguous premise but comes apart when it must reach a conclusion if its protagonist, Liz Dunn (Thora Birch), is a psychopath or a victim.

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    ...more frantic than terrifying, with drama that is forced and thrills that are nonexistent.

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    When we finally come to hear and understand what probably did happen down in the hole, it's more elaborately ridiculous than the first story we heard.

  • Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com

    you get the feeling the actors are hoping their characters will die soon so they can get off the set, fast.

  • Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena

    Sem provocar grandes sustos ou estabelecer um bom clima de tensão, este é um filme sem propósito definido. Além disso, a história é rasa e a direção de Hamm, burocrática.

    The Hole is a great blend of horror and psychological thriller. It's disturbing, not only in the amount of physical violence that the characters inflict on each other, but in the film's analysis of one girl's willingness to do whatever it takes to win over the object… More

    I really really liked this film, the acting was good and the storyline was good and it keeps you guessing and still surprises you at the end as you come to one conclusion and gives you a completely different answer. Its about 4 teenagers who dont go on this trip and end up in this… More
