Is something that will never be said about this movie. I only give it a 2.5 because through the bad acting and may plot holes, it somehow kept me until the end so I could see how bad the ending would be

2.5

I'm not surprised that nobody else has bothered to review this no-budget disaster flick filmed in L.A. because it's really terrible. It doesn't even have the budget of your garden variety SyFy Channel or Asylum movie to do the subject matter justice, so what you're left with is a completely inept production with zero redeeming features.

After an unintentionally hilarious opening disaster sequence involving a hot air balloon crash, the viewer hooks up with a group of teenagers travelling on a school bus. Through whatever machinations the scriptwriter comes up with, the bus ends up stuck inside a sink hole, and the various emergency services have to do their best to save the kids before they die.

Despite the potential of that premise, this is a really dull film. It should have been like the Stallone disaster flick DAYLIGHT but instead it's just amateur hour all round. The performances are really poor with only a few familiar faces in the cast (hi, Eric Roberts!) who are underutilised anyway, and the CGI effect of the sink hole itself is among the worst I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bad effects in my time. If you want an idea of this film's kind of talent level, I can report that the director also made ATTACK OF THE KILLER DONUTS, the writer also scripted THE ART OF WAR II: BETRAYAL, and the lead actress also made SAND SHARKS.

I'm so glad I watched this on YouTube at high speed. It should be called Stinkhole.

It is one of the worst films of the 2010-2020 decade, this is pure trash, never seen such a thing. Ridiculous storyline, ridiculous actors, special effects made with Commodore 64 and a ridiculous and unthinkable ending. I You can only read the plot to understand how ridiculous it is: a school bus that falls into a chasm.

I have to admit that when I stumbled upon the 2013 movie "Sink Hole" and saw that rather low rating it had gotten on IMDb, then I was doubtful about watching the movie. But still, with it being a disaster movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and watch what writer Keith Shaw and director Scott Wheeler had to offer.

And this was a disaster movie alright. But not in a good way. Nay, "Sink Hole" was just a, hands down, terrible movie. There is no need to beat around the sink hole here. Take heed, people, the low rating is indeed an indicator of what you are in for here.

The storyline, as written by Keith Shaw, was bland and just downright boring. It felt like the script, storyline, characters and dialogue was written by a pre-teen preparing to write a play for a live action role-playing gaming group. Yup, you are not in for anything spectacular here.

As a disaster movie, then having proper special effects is a must. Did the 2013 movie "Sink Hole" have that? No. Not even remotely close to anything resembling proper special effects. In fact, the CGI in "Sink Hole" looked like something taken out of an early 1990s computer game. It was pretty lousy and bad to look at.

I do wonder why the likes of Jeremy London and Eric Roberts pop up in movies such as these. I suppose the script sold the movie better than what was delivered to the screen.

If you enjoy disaster movies, do yourself a favor and skip on "Sink Hole". This was as boring, bland, predictable and generic as they come.

My rating of "Sink Hole" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

A glorious mess of bad writing, bad acting, bad CGI and oh so many plot holes.
