Review of The Hole

The Hole (2001)
6/10
Sort of like a cross between Cube & Fatal Attraction
22 April 2001
Warning: Spoilers
Sort of. Liz (Thora Birch of American Beauty) stumbles dazed into a public school and raises the alarm. We learn that she has been 'trapped' in a old war bomb shelter for weeks, along with her girlfriend Frankie, Frankie's boyfriend Geoff, and Mike, an American student with whom Liz has a fixation with, and was the main reason she went into the 'Hole' in the first place, to get to know Mike better.

The story is told by Liz as she is interviewed by Embeth Davidtz. In the first version of her story she accuses a school pal, Martin, of locking the group in the shelter. Martin is then arrested and denies it. Later, Liz offers another version of events that took place, and we learn the fate of the other three. Needless to say, Liz is not all what she initially seems. The acting isn't bad from the cast of unknowns. An English tale of dangerous obsession that is watchable, but loses itself, and ultimately, isn't quite convincing.
