Sarah has run away with her son Chris to start a new life in a remote rural village. After a hostile installation, Chris's behaviour gradually darkens, as if under the influence of the strange crater in the surrounding forest.

A first feature film that leaves behind a truly bad atmosphere, a love for jump-scare that forces respect. Lee Cronin isn’t there to knit rocking chair covers thinking absent-mindedly about death. His movie seeks all shades of darkness within reach, hovers in total and unsinkable anguish, mistreating mother and son both physically and psychologically. No matter how many showers you will take after returning home, The Hole in the Ground will leave you with a taste of earth in the mouth.
