Reviews: 'The Hole in the Ground,' 'The Cannibal Club,' 'Tuftland'
Like the recent horror favorites "The Babadook" and "Hereditary," director Lee Cronin's "The Hole in the Ground" exploits the common terrors of parenthood. Though it's not quite in the same league as those movies, this is an impressive feature debut for a filmmaker with more in mind than just monsters and jump-scares. Co-written by Cronin and Stephen Shields, "The Hole in the Ground" stars Seána Kerslake as Sarah O'Neill, mother to Chris (James Quinn Markey), a precocious boy who peppers his mom with questions about why they left his father, and why they're moving to a small Irish town in the middle of nowhere. Not long after the O'Neills arrive, Chris' nagging evolves into flagrant misbehavior. After a local eccentric warns Sarah that her son is "not him," she suspects he's been replaced by a changeling -- perhaps sprung from the enormous sinkhole on their property.
