This film gave me confidence in the young film makers of our world. The acting was very genuine..even though if I had been part of that group the minute reading from an old spell book to conjure demons was suggested I would have made my exit and gone home. Even though they reference Wes Craven and Blair Witch they really should have considered the Evil Dead..which I believe the makers are paying slight homage to.
I thought some of the first reviews had to be people connected to the film trying to create a buzz. But I as someone living in Scotland can say it is a damn good low budget horror movie and again I cannot stress how natural and realistic these young actors are..the fact that they can all sign well in relation to the deaf acting is also a bonus. Like any of my reviews this is short. I don't review movies I don't like. Negative criticism is easy in a world of disposable media. I hope all involved in this film go on to do well. Thanks for keeping my mind off my own life and entertaining me for an hour and a half.
I am not really reviewing this but felt I had to give a positive vote in this film's favor due to the many negative generalizations by others. I loved this creepy film. I liked the film The Hallowed another great Irish horror movie and I have an interest in old folklore, the fairy realm (more often dark) and the terrifying concept of changelings. I felt 'The Hole In The Ground' excelled with it's story. Yes various elements may remind you of other films but true originality is virtually impossible theses days. I don't want to put any spoilers here so instead I suggest you watch this in the dark and alone and make up your own mind. Yum...spider anyone?
I don't need to say anything realy but... You will LOVE or HATE this trippy, vengeance fuelled gorefest. Watch it..then watch it again like I did. Cage is great in this, Riseborough is kinda creepy, the Children Of The New Dawn are mental...Jeremiah is insane. The satanic bikers on acid rocked. I can see many bands stealing audio samples from this film.
I was blown away by how enjoyable and captivating this was to watch. Oh and Elijah Wood was one of the Producers?! Well done for getting this made. THANK YOU 'MANDY'.
