"The Hole" is a very good twisted little Thriller set in England & about four friends at a posh private public school that hide out in a WW2 bunker in the nearby woods so they can have a weekend of partying rather than go on a boring school trip but it turns deadly when they can't get out.
Thora Birch (Hocus Pocus) gives an excellent performance as Liz, a girl with a big crush on American student Mike, played by the excellent Desmond Harrington, this guy is a genre favourite from the early 2000's from starring in Awesome flicks such as Ghost Ship & Wrong Turn & here he gives the best acting performance I've seen him do.
There's also Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean) as the popular girl Frankie & Lawrence Fox (DeathWatch) as Geoff, both solid actors.
All acting is spot-on from the four main friends as panic & terror sets in once they realise they're trapped & are low on food & water & no one knows where they are!!!
I really enjoyed this survival Thriller from way back in 2001 on video & i hadn't seen it in years but totally enjoyed it again.
The setting is very claustrophobic & things get very nasty & disturbing amongst the friends as things get desperate but there's more to the story that unravels as the movie goes on & someone is behind these horrific events so there's a Mystery that gradually comes to a twisted ending.
As far as these set-in-one-place survival films go, i think The Hole is one of the best & is a gripping little story & being set in England makes it stand out from all the American ones.
A good Psychological survival Thriller with a top cast.
