Skip it. 'The Hole in the Ground' is a derivative folk-horror flick that relies too heavily on the tired "creepy kid" trope and never quite justifies its promising premise about a sinkhole and body-snatching evil. Unless you're scraping the bottom of the horror barrel tonight, you've seen this story done better elsewhere.

Plot

Trying to escape her broken past, Sarah O’Neill is building a new life on the fringes of a backwood rural town with her young son Chris. A terrifying encounter with a mysterious neighbour shatters her fragile security, throwing Sarah into a spiralling nightmare of paranoia and mistrust, as she tries to uncover if the disturbing changes in her little boy are connected to an ominous sinkhole buried deep in the forest that borders their home.
