The Hole Plot Synopsis:
Susan and her sons Dane and Lucas Thompson move from Brooklyn to Bensonville, in the countryside. Dane is upset with the constant changes of address and the family has lived in many cities. Lucas and Dane befriend their next door neighbor, the gorgeous Julie and the brothers find a bottomless hole in the basement of their house locked with several padlocks. They take the locks off and soon they are haunted by their darkest fears. Further, they believe that the hole might be a gateway to hell.
The Hole is shaping up to be a great horror movie in the likes of The Gate. Joe Dante is the same guy who brought us horror movie greats like Gremlins and The Howling. The Hole is written by Mark Smith (Vacancy) and tells the tale of two brothers who stumble upon a mysterious hole in the middle of their basement that seems endless when looked into. Similar to the abyss. The Hole reveals the deepest darkest fears of all those who look into it.
