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.
