United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Behind the scenes, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Interactive Menu, Making Of, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: From visionary director Joe Dante comes a suspense thriller that explores the fears and secrets buried deep in the human mind. Life couldnt possibly get worse, or so thought 17 year old Dane and his 10 year old brother Lucas, when their single mother Susan uproots them from New York City to the sleepy little town of Bensonville. For Dane the only exciting thing about their new town is the beautiful girl next door, Julie. With Susan spending more and more time at work, Dane and Lucas are left unattended to explore the depths of their eerie new residence. With Dane paying more attention to Julie, he has far less time and patience for his little brother. But then everything changes when they find a sinister bottomless hole under a locked trap door in the basement. As the brothers experiment with the hole they realize that the cold pit goes on forever. They drop a nail and never hear it hit bottom. They lower a flashlight and a video camera and they get consumed by the darkness. Hoping for some answers about the houses past, Dane and Lucas bring Julie in on their new discovery. When the hole is exposed, evil is unleashed. With strange shadows lurking around every corner and past nightmares coming to life, the trio will have to come face to face their darkest fears to put an end to THE HOLE. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Venice Film Festival, ...The Hole (2009)

Format:Blu-ray
I only bought this because it was in 3D and I've just bought 3D tv, I didn't really expect too much.
It's a classic storyline to begin, they move into a new house, find something in the celler etc........its rated 12, so not that scarey, seen it all before..... Wrong.
The little girl, the clown, the policeman. The way they slither into the box, the dad, this was a really good film, good story line, fantastic 3D experience. If i hadn't know it was a 12, i'd have thought it was a 15 or 18 classification.
You'll find yourself shouting, omg don't go into the cellar, pool, bedroom and wanting to look away, but not being able to tear your eyes away.
Fantastic film, definately worth buying, i think the 1 star raters who said 3D not good need someone to set there tv's and blu ray players up properly!!! This is a definate 5 star movie.

You may be a bit confused over which review to believe. But for all of those who still have faith in the world I advise you to completely ignore the previous reviewers comment and listen to this (my Blu-ray.com review)
'The Hole' is actually a pretty decent film. I wasn't expecting much from it, but boy did it deliver. Going into this expecting another run-of-the-mill kids film I discovered that it was much more than that, much more of a dark, disjointed, psychological thriller, with some disturbing images such as a little dead girl crying tears of bloody and crawling down a hole akin to something from 'The Grudge' or a policeman lacking the back of his head.
The picture quality, especially the 3D, holds up well, and the color palette is very vibrant, even whilst viewing in 3D mode. Watching the movie in 3D is a whole new level of entertainment, and it is one of the best discs out there for lack of crosstalk (which is only a slight problem in about one or two shots of the whole film - if that) So I would definitely recommend that if you are looking for another 3D movie that was natively shot in 3D, has a great depth to it (that completely adds to the films immersive experience) and practically no crosstalk then go for this, you will not be disappointed.
Overall not only was this a great film, but this is a great disc, the extras may be lacking and feel a bit too much like promotional material but the 3D on the disc is vastly superior to a lot of other discs out at the moment, and is definitely demo-disc material worthy. I would probably place this 3D disc just behind Avatar in terms of depth and quality, but way above lacklusture 3D titles such as Piranha or Clash of the Titans.
So, anyone who shares my opinion please take the time to review this and get it up to the (at least) 4 stars it deserves.

Format:DVD
this film was fantastic.
the scariest 12 rating ive ever seen, it kept me on edge all the way through.
well acted and a great original plot.
it was not predictable at all which is part of what made it so great.
it was a kids film but with very adult scares ( think jumanji, zathura etc)
what makes me laugh is that this was scarier than a lot of the 15 and 18 horror films out at the moment.
defiantly buy this because it was just a great family film.
we didnt even watch it in 3d, just the 2d version so i can imagine its even more great in 3d.
brilliant, best film in ages.

The Hole
Really scary for a 12 Rating. A good 3D film. I would give it a cushion Rating of 2. That is the number of cushions you will need to hide behind for the scary bits.
