"You're wasting my time. There's nothing down here."
This isn't the great director Joe Dante of Gremlins and Matinee, but more like the mediocre one of Small Soldiers. The Hole In 3D is a curious mash-up of The Ring and Elm Street written for five-year-olds, and as a result it is crushingly predictable, insipid and dull. Matters are not helped by the vapid trio of lead child actors, including the most lightweight 'rebellious teenager' performance by Chris Massoglia that you are likely to see this year. 3D composition is so consciously contrived that you start to fear that every single exterior shot will be forefrounded by some kind of foliage, although added depth does liven up the final sequences to some degree. Dante's obligatory Dick Miller (blink-and-you'll-miss-it) cameo raises a smile, but there is little else here to hold interest.
