Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"[The film] taps potently into parental anxieties and primal fears. Thoughtful technical credits, especially the varied, layered score by Stephen McKeon, add an extra layer of polish." - 01/31/2019 Hollywood Reporter


"The Irishman’s trim, jumpy debut feature rewrites no genre rules, but abounds in bristly calling-card atmospherics." - 01/26/2019 Variety


"Seána Kerslake provides a tangible emotional arc, portraying a mother who is progressively disturbed by the presence of her child but is also afraid of completely cutting him off." - 01/26/2019 RogerEbert.com


"THE HOLE IN THE GROUND will appeal most to those who like their horror movies very bluntly metaphorical....Cronin deftly escalates the tension..." - 02/24/2019 A.V. Club


"THE HOLE IN THE GROUND has memorable images -- the bottomless pit, a child’s hand warped and extended in creepy imitation of the spiders that once terrified him." - 02/28/2019 New York Times


"[A]n impressive feature debut for a filmmaker with more in mind than just monsters and jump-scares." - 02/27/2019 Los Angeles Times


3 stars out of 5 -- "[S]pecific Irish horror sub-genres are emerging and -- like THE HALLOW -- THE HOLE IN THE GROUND offers a dark reading of mythology..." - 02/26/2019 Empire


4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] film operating at a suspenseful, spider-like creep that allows it to skirt your defences and get some distance under the skin." - 02/28/2019 The Guardian
