Thanks God that nobody makes this kind of family horror movies anymore (and I’d better knock on wood). I’m not saying that The Hole made me suffer much – actually, I was almost surprised that it didn’t make me feel any aversion while watching it – but I simply refuse to accept child heroes in movies where (theoretically) someone is a jerk. To be fair, though, I admit that some scenes have a pretty nice atmosphere (and the first glance into the hole was quite tense, too), but I simply didn’t like the family-friendly plot.

In the American production The Hole, director Joe Dante clearly wanted to showcase some more serious subject matter in horror movies. However, he also aimed to entertain audiences. Somehow, though, he did not pull it off as it is not cohesive as a whole. This is partially down to some pretty bad CGI and lack of depth. Still, it is a decent scary movie with a fairly inevitable conclusion.
