When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Kind of normal horror theme. Kids find and accidently released a ancient horror that hunts them. Its ok. The thing I found stupid in this movie was the old man Carl. He had lived at the house with the hatch and had locked it. Then he kinds of leave it like that moves away to adifferent part of the city. He dont really hides the hatch and leaves the keys in a box just next to the hatch. He is then angry at the kids for opening the hatch and blame them for releasing the evil. This part is kind of stupid and feel like a cheap way to get the story to start. This made me lose interest in the rest of the movie when I was seeing it.

Siblings Dane and lucas lives with their mom, Susan and they just moved to a new neighborhood. The only thing that matters to Dane is the beautiful girl next door, Julie. Susan spends most of her time in office. Everything was going well until Dane and Lucas finds a black hole in their basement. Technically, the film can be watchable without getting bored and Joe Dante actually reminds me of old style film making. It's a simple movie that can be watchable in relaxation time. The effort was made to make a nice engaging horror movie, unfortunately it doesn't particularly deliver. Overall, it's a one time watchable flick.

I can't believe I actually sat through this entire movie. What a total waste of time. I think it's the first horror I've ever seen that manages to be both completely boring, while simultaneously constructed almost entirely out of horror movie clichés: small town, check. Dysfunctional family moves into new home, check. Snotty kids, check. Distracted single mother, check. Precocious perky next-door teen girl, check. Creepy little dead girl, check. Creepy evil animated doll, check. Creepy old guy who knows too much, check. Complete failure to act intelligently around supernatural threat, check. About the only thing the film makers didn't use was the screaming cat trope. That's probably the only shock of the entire movie.Best moment of the movie: when Dane accidentally backs into Julie's boobs, and there's a resounding metallic CLANG on the soundtrack.Worst moment: most of the rest of the film could qualify, but probably the worst worst was the entirely flat performances in monotone voices from the cast during the climactic scenes. Oh, and Bruce Dern - who is less than Oscar material at his best - gets a Special Mention for the single worst performance of his career. Give it up, Bruce. It's time to retire, because you're just embarrassing yourself now.The direction was dull, the story trite and boring, the script poorly written with some truly atrocious dialogue, the music was awful, the performances from the entire cast were poor. The cinematography was undistinguished. The special effects weren't the worst part of the whole movie, which doesn't say much.If you're twelve and your parents don't mind you watching scary stuff, you might not find this a complete waste of time. If you're not twelve and you have a brain, you can do far better.

Chris Massoglia and Nathan Gamble play brothers Dane and Lucas, who move into a new home with their mother, where they discover a strange trapdoor down in the basement secured by numerous padlocks. Rather than report their unusual discovery to their mother, the boys open the door to reveal a bottomless hole that feeds on their innermost fears. Together with Julie, the pretty teenage girl next door, the brothers attempt to overcome their dread and defeat the malevolent void.I'm a huge Gremlins fan and love Piranha, but much of Joe Dante's work leaves me feeling rather indifferent. Innerspace, Explorers, The 'Burbs, The Howling, Small Soldiers: all reasonably entertaining but rather forgettable examples of fantasy cinema. The Hole 3D is yet another title on Dante's resumé that amounts to little more than a passable time-waster.Feeling much like an extended episode of Rod Serling's TV classic The Twilight Zone, The Hole delivers a fair amount of creepy atmosphere that will no doubt succeed in unsettling sensitive younger viewers, but which is unlikely to have much effect on anyone beyond their early teens. Mark L. Smith's stale script recalls movies such as The Gate, Poltergeist, and House, while Dante attempts Spielberg style domesticity, delivers predictable PG-rated scares, and regurgitates the weird and wonky set design from his 'It's A Good Life' Twilight Zone: The Movie segment for the film's forgettable finalé.
