The Hill and the Hole

I caught this film by chance and really found myself enjoying it. I wasn't too sure what to expect at first but the dark comedy reminding me somewhat of some of the Cohen Bros. movies kept my attention and I also liked the horror elements to it.

The story was unique as well and I wasn't sure what to expect from the outset. Kept my attention throughout however and I would recommend the film to friends to at least give a chance.

An admirable effort, to adapt a relatively obscure authors work, though the fact remains: its a short story, and at 80 minutes this movie plays like an exceedingly long twilight zone tale. the creepy and strange is diluted to kooky and weird, the wit is more kevin smith than lovecraft, and the ending is... boring. overall disappointing, pass unless you cant resist the premise

If you have read anything by Fritz Lieber then you understand the strange.

Not really sure what's going on, but there's some whacked out surveyor geek having a bad trip or delusions of some sort at the beginning.

I guess he finds out some hill that exists doesn't exist on a town map. Much weirdness ensues.

Some kind of alien influence I guess?? Turns local townies into dirt eating suicidal loons.

-1 Star for the really lame red light alien effects......

-1 Star for old man chased off by car headlights when he's about to smoke dude with a machete

OMG THE ENDING WAS HORRIBLY STUPID.

Like they just gave up on the movie at all lol

-1 Star for the Stupid Ending.....

2/10

Several questions enter my mind. One... Why did I waste my time watching this thing? Two... Why would somebody make a movie this bad? Three... Why couldn't anybody come up with a better ending? A good ending could potential he have wrapped up a lot of the very loose ends that are flopping around in this movie. From my point of you... Do you self a favor and just skip it.
