It's the weekend, and there's fear in the air thanks to five new clips from Joe Dante's long anticipated 3D horror flick The Hole. Still no word on when we'll see it here in the States, but hey, a taste is better than nothing, right?

However, if you're in the UK, you can just buy it on Blu-ray and DVD. Speaking of which, dig on two clips from the disc's featurettes and five clips from the film!

The Hole stars Teri Polo, Haley Bennett, Bruce Dern, Chris Massoglia, and Nathan Gamble.

Synopsis:

From director Joe Dante comes a family-friendly, 3D thriller that explores the fears and secrets buried in the minds of children.

DVD Review - The Hole (2009)

18 January 2011 12:28 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

The Hole, 2009.

Directed by Joe Dante.

Starring Chris Massoglia, Haley Bennett, Nathan Gamble, Teri Polo and Bruce Dern.

Synopsis:

Two brothers discover a mysterious hole in the basement of their new home that forces them to confront their darkest fears.

In the vein of 80’s kids horrors such as Gremlins, The Hole (from Gremlins helmer himself, Joe Dante) embraces some old fashioned sensibilities, combined with the new fangled 3D obsession (though of course there was brief surge in 3D, during the 80’s) to deliver something that feels a bit old school. It’s not flashy, and it’s not edited within an inch of its life in a hyperactive blur of sugar rushed avid carnage. Its target audience are young, but are at least given the credit to have to concentrate for the films duration. Not that the plot is anything particularly taxing, or indeed remotely original.

DVD Review: The Hole

14 January 2011 7:44 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »

The Hole

Stars: Chris Massoglia, Nathan Gamble, Haley Bennett, Teri Polo, Bruce Dern | Written by Mark L Smith | Directed by Joe Dante

When Lucas and Dane Thompson investigate the basement of their new house with their neighbour Julie, they are surprised to discover a trapdoor that covers a seemingly bottomless hole. Curiosity soon turns to terror when they realise that the hole somehow knows their deepest fears and uses them against them.

The Hole is Joe Dante’s film since Looney Toons: Back in Action (2003) and is a supremely creepy tale that will resonate with children and adults alike. The fears of Lucas, Dane and Julie (clowns, creepy dead girls and abusive fathers) are not dumbed down, each is genuinely menacing and uses all the tricks of the trade to grab our attention. There are knowing nods to a number of other scary movies such as Poltergeist and Paperhouse while »

Neil Upton’s Top 10 Films of 2010

2 January 2011 2:36 PM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Matt here…

Neil Upton is the latest writer to have boarded Obsessed With Film this year but has already made a significant impact helping me out with the daily grind of movie news reporting, something which is getting tougher and tougher for me to provide as the site expands and my duties elsewhere in the running of this thing stack up.

His Top Ten of 2010 is below, and somewhat surprisingly – I think he’s the only Owf-er who couldn’t find room for The Social Network;

10. Shutter Island

Leonardo DiCaprio is fantastic as the rat in a maze in this beautifully filmed Gothic chiller from Martin Scorsese. I’ve had an irrational dislike of Leo in most of his work this last decade, always thinking of him as a boy playing men but this film marks the point where I started to take him seriously as a mature and an increasingly skilled actor. »
