Just for the records I live in Thailand and this film is receiving the full theatrical treatment and I just attended the premiere.
The only reason I saw it. Is that I saw the name Joe Dante on the poster.
We are now in a period where 3D is in full swing and I have seen "My Bloody Valentine 3D" and "Avatar".
Avatar was great in his own right, but I found the whole thing over the top. Now I like simpler movies in general. So my preference is a question of taste.
Also I not have wide knowledge of 3D and special effects, but I was satisfied.
Anyways back to a normal review. Like Dante promised it's a horror film for the family, and he does what he does best again. Unlike Gremlins or any of his previous family horror film this one scares you as well as being clean.
I had a few jump and was spooked by some scenes.
Also I went with a date and it was a proper film for that. She was holding on to me and the rest... And we were watching a proper film without a ton of gore.
I am not a fan of horror film with too much gore so I was happy. If you like that stuff it's not on "The Hole" menu.
Well the story is simple there is a trap in the basement. Kids open it a their greatest fears become true. Well acted, and well directed with a fresh concept.
A touchdown for Dante.
