The Hole (2001)

Hole, The (2001, GBR) C-102m. SCOPE *** D: Nick Hamm. Starring Thora Birch, Desmond Harrington, Daniel Brocklebank, Laurence Fox, Keira Knightley, Embeth Davidtz. Four teenagers from an elite boarding school decide to deliberately miss a school trip by hiding in an underground bunker. After three days, a friend is supposed to pick them up again, but he doesn't turn up and the hatch is locked. Psycho thriller is not your usual teenage horror fare, it has an interesting narrative and is loaded with twists until the (lukewarm) finale. Refreshing script is based on the novel After the Hole by Guy Burt.
