The Hole

The Hole is a 2001 psychological horror-thriller directed by Nick Hamm, based on the novel After the Hole by Guy Burt.

The film starred Thora Birch, whose headlining credit and highly-publicized seven-figure salary was attributed to her appearance in American Beauty. It also featured Keira Knightley, in her first significant role in a feature film and British supermodel James Rousseau in a deleted scene at the end designed to set up a possible sequel...

The film is about the experiences of four British public school students: Liz (played by Birch), Mike (Desmond Harrington), Geoff (Laurence Fox), and Frankie (played by Knightley). It begins with Liz arriving at their school, seemingly in shock. The audience soon sees her talking to a psychiatrist (played by Embeth Davidtz), and the first in a couple of points of view are presented about the events that the four students experienced in "The Hole" (an abandoned, underground shelter) during their school break. Daniel Brocklebank plays Martyn, a fifth student, who soon becomes part of the tale.
