Synopsis

Genre: Thriller | Adventure

From visionary director Joe Dante comes a suspense thriller that explores the fears and secrets buried deep in the human mind. Life couldn’t possibly get worse, or so thought 17 year old Dane and his 10 year old brother Lucas, when their single mother Susan uproots them from New York City to the sleepy little town of Bensonville. For Dane the only exciting thing about their new town is the beautiful girl next door, Julie. With Susan spending more and more time at work, Dane and Lucas are left unattended to explore the depths of their eerie new residence. With Dane paying more attention to Julie, he has far less time and patience for his little brother. But then everything changes when they find a sinister bottomless hole under a locked trap door in the basement. As the brothers experiment with the hole they realize that the cold pit goes on forever. They drop a nail and never hear it hit bottom. They lower a flashlight and a video camera and they get consumed by the darkness. Hoping for some answers about the house’s past, Dane and Lucas bring Julie in on their new discovery. When the hole is exposed, evil is unleashed. With strange shadows lurking around every corner and past nightmares coming to life, the trio will have to come face to face their darkest fears to put an end to THE HOLE.

Buzz begins on Joe Dante's latest, 'The Hole'

Published on: August 6, 2009

Following its trailer screening at the San Diego Comic-Con, Joe Dante's return to "family horror" with The Hole will surely set the movie blogs alight with chatter. And while the movie wraps its post production one of the first writers out of the gate is The Examiner's Jeff Swenson in a speculation piece on what fans can expect from the man who brought us classics like Gremlins, The Howling and Piranha.

Swenson may be speculating a little prematurely, given very little information except for a summary has been released to the public. But if it gets the conversation moving, it's worth a read nonetheless.

Never mind the title is destined to stir a few jokes -- even Joe Dante himself told Movieset.com he hopes the name will change in time for release ("I don't want people calling this Joe Dante's Hole") -- we can't wait for Dante's return to the big screen in 2010.
