Sky has just debuted an exclusive clip from Joe Dante’s upcoming 3D horror film The Hole. The unfortunately titled film doesn’t yet have a release date in the Americas, but you lucky Brits will be able to catch it come September 24th. It’s a sad world when a legend like Dante takes this long to get distribution for his first straight-up horror flick in years. A sad world indeed.
The film is about two brothers who are forced to move with their single mom from NYC to a little suburban town and start playing around in a nearby abandonded house. Underneath a locked trap door (never a good idea to open those, kids) they find a hole… and realize that it might be bottomless. Things soon start going crazy in the town and you all know what’s to blame.
This particular clip was shown at Comic Con this year, and features Haley Bennett having some troubles in the bathroom. It’s quite a teaser, not really showing you much, but even this little clip has tension up the wazoo.
Check it out below and hope for a release on our shores sometime soon.

I wonder if Nathan Gamble has a revolver pointed at his head in this film?
Horrible! The poster looks like some cheesy 80's kids action film, with no horror elements whatsoever. The clip felt like a cheesy canadian made for tv film. FAIL!
Yer nothing but a bunch of nattering nabobs of negativism. It's Joe Dante! And he's TRYING to make an cheesy 80s kids horror movie! And while he is working on a shoestring budget and is perfectly capable of making shitty movies, Dante's still one of the good guys and deserves the benefit of the doubt here.
#3: That might be true, but it doesn't mean that that shitty poster isn't shitty shit.
Alex, no offense, but you utterly suck at writing headlines. Lay off the obvious cliches, already.
That poster is indeed shit. But I'm seeing this for sure, there needs to be more good horror films that kids can see, ones that deliver the scares and some icky scenes but aren't sexualised or filled with bad language. And of course this is DANTE, he deserves our support. Although calling yourself THE HOLE and featuring a scene in which someone gets locked in a public toilet – well, people might get the wrong idea. The BIG question is – will this be better than THE GATE?
@#5. Yeah, but it made someone come in and spend at least two minutes being a dick… which kind of fits the headline anyway.
Joe Dante made me come in, not Alex's juvenile headline. But nice try.
