A fun-filled getaway for four teenagers becomes a season in Hell in this tense British thriller. Liz Dunn (Thora Birch) is a student at an exclusive private school who is head over heels for Mike Steel (Desmond Harrington), a handsome classmate whose father is a well-known American rock star. Liz, however, is self-conscious about her looks & is convinced Mike would rather be with the prettier girls in her class. Liz is also unenthusiastic about an upcoming field trip, in which she & the other students will have to camp out for three days while studying local geography. Liz confesses her infatuation with Mike to Martin Taylor (Daniel Brocklebank), a science-minded geek who happens to be in love with Liz, though she's not aware of it. Martin proposes a solution to both of Liz's problems; he's found an underground bunker built during World War II near the school grounds, & he arranges a little party in which Liz & Mike will spend the three days of the field trip in the bunker, with class couple Geoff (Laurence Fox) & Frankie (Keira Knightley) going along, giving Liz a perfect chance to impress Mike with her charm. The students lay in a supply of food, water, & booze to last them for three days, but after 72 hours, they discover that Martin has locked them in, & they're not sure if he intends to come by & let them out. The Hole also stars Embeth Davidtz as a psychiatrist who consults with Liz after her ordeal. Directed by Nick Hamm. NTSC/Region 1. 102 minutes/16 X 9 Widescreen.
