THE HOLE
Cast: Keira Knightley, Desmond Harrington, Thora Birch, Daniel Brocklebank...
Director: Nick Hamm
Writer: Guy Butt (novel), David Wagner, Ben Court (screenplay)
Review Date: n/a
Written By: Clarkey
Rating: 7/10
THE PLOT:
A modern thriller set in a British private school. Based on the best selling cult novel by Guy Burt, 'After The Hole' takes us on a disturbing roller coaster ride where "truth" and "fiction" become commodities in a bizarre adolescent prank, which goes wrong.
THE REVIEW:
Not many people have seen this movie, or even heard of it. But when I heard that Keira Knightley was in it, I looked around for it and found it in the 7-day rental section. I didn’t know what to expect from it.
It is a great horror thriller with a nice twist that I didn’t really see coming. The acting was good with a solid cast. Thora Birch, Keira Knightley, Desmond Harrington and Daniel Brocklebank did a great job in their roles. Thora Birch plays Elizabeth Dunn, the main character, and gives another American Beauty like performance. Keira was great as the other girl who gets trapped and the boys do a solid job. However, this movie isn’t about the acting, it about the story.
The story was the best part of this movie. Ben Court did a wonderful job adapting Guy Burt’s novel. I haven’t read the novel, but I am looking for it now. It is really cool. As already mentioned the twist is a great awesome and it works perfectly in the movie. Nick Hamm does a solid job directing this solid cast and bringing the awesome story to life.
This is an underrated movie and I recommend that you keep it in mind when you’re looking for an older movie to watch.
