When a young mother and two kids move into a new house in a new area it starts as the usual story - one kid is happy with the move, the other one isn't. Puberty and peer pressure are dripping. As the mother starts working the kids rummage around the house and stumble onto something they had not quite expected: a hole. There are two strange things about it: it is in the basement of the house, and it's slightly deeper than one would expect a hole to be. From then on things start to go weirder and weirder.
And so starts what turns out to be a very run-of-the-mill horror that fits straight into the dogma used for many of the 80s horrors. It's interesting enough - it rolls on at a steady pace and doesn't allow itself to fall into too many of the pitfall clichés that many of these films fall into.
The different characters are worked out rather nicely and although it never becomes frightening or even tension building it is enjoyable, at a mediocre level.
Falling into the 3D hype this one attempts to add some 3D effects and fails almost entirely. There's a few orchestrated bits and ends for the gimmick effect but they really do not do justice to what can be done with 3D effects.
