The Hill and the Hole

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

I don't write a lot of reviews, but feel I owe this one. I like small quirky movies. I don't need CGI/ effects. Just give me a decent story line and competent acting. This truly has neither. Nothing about this movie is remotely understandable, let alone making sense. Acting? is non existent. Directing? the same. Evidently this small town holds a big secret, but you'll never know what it is. I was suffering from a bout of insomnia, or I'd have turned it off in the first 10 minutes or so. This movie "tries" to be important, And fails. I looked in here hoping to find some meaning, or at least a clue about what's going on. No such luck. All I can think of is that it looks like a bunch of mediocre film students got together, and said "Hey! Let's make a movie!" "Great idea, but first let's do a few shots and smoke a LOT of weed!" "Cool! We'll go the old motel, and shoot. Then smoke some more weed! "Dude! I know where they keep the props for that haunted house they do every year!" "Oh man (taking another toke) I got a laser pointer we can play with too!" "DUDE! This is gonna be EPIC!"

I have NO IDEA where these high ratings come from, maybe from friends of the director. It was a movie that seemed 3 hours long and that's never a good thing if you are waiting for the ending. I would look to watch a different movie this was a science fiction at best and it was done very poorly!!

There's no science here to even approximate science fiction. Even the handling and use of land surveyor's tools (theodolite) is woefully ignorant; demonstrating that no attempt was even made to approach any sort of science or intellectual reality.

Don't waste your time... or eyesight.
