The Hole
Dir: Joe Dante
2012
***
It's nice to see Joe Dante back in the directors chair again. The Hole is all good fun and very reminiscent of his previous classics; Twilight Zone, The 'Burbs, and the brilliant TV series Eerie, Indiana. It didn't feel like anything new but rather a return to the films I loved in the 80's. I loved the Bruce Dern character, a real nod to Lt. Mark Rumsfield. That and the very much appreciated Dick Miller cameo did it for me, give me this over Super 8 everyday. Could the king of Cartoon kooky be back?
