It's been a while since I last saw a decent slasher in a school setting and I was hoping F would finally turn things around. Unfortunately, due to a series of huge holes within the story, a lack of motivation behind the killings, and the incredibly abrupt and anti-climatic ending, the film falls flat, throwing any sort of potential it had from the start out the window.

Director Joe Dante returns to his horror-ish, family-friendly roots with The Hole, a flick that seemed somewhat promising from the trailers. Unfortunately, although The Hole did successfully capture the feel of a fun semi-horror romp, this turned out to be your pretty standard genre yarn, with a mediocre and highly predictable premise. You'd never guess it was Joe Dante behind the camera, as it seemed like it could've been directed by any other person.
