⭐ Featured Review

Overal promising but in the end just not good enough.

5/10

"There are good and bad things about The Hole In The Ground. The good things are the acting as all actors were very believable in their roles, the dark atmosphere due to an excellent soundtrack and good cinematography, and the necessary suspense and scary moments for a horror movie. The bad things would be the feeling that this story is just unfinished and the lack of explanation of what is really going on and let that be the major letdown of this movie. It could have been much better if the story wasn't that undevelopped and that's just a pity because it had potential...."

💡 Did You Know?

The film draws from elements of Irish folklore such as the concept of Changelings (children being replaced by fairy folk) and Fairy Forts (the ruins of neolithic tombs scattered all over Ireland that are associated with many local traditions and folklore and are often thought to be portals to the Otherworld).
