Following the film's world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, A24 has released the official trailer for The Hole in the Ground, the new horror movie about a mother who worries that her son isn't actually her son anymore... or even human, for that matter.
The feature-length directorial debut of Lee Cronin (who also co-wrote the screenplay with Stephen Shields), The Hole in the Ground stars
Seána Kerslake, James Cosmo, Kati Outinen, Simone Kirby, Steve Wall, and James Quinn Markey.
According to Entertainment Weekly (who also unveiled the movie's poster and hosted the exclusive premiere of the film's US trailer), The Hole in the Ground will be released on DirecTV on January 31st, followed by a March 1st theatrical release from A24.
A horror thriller with a familial focus, The Hole in the Ground has the following synopsis (via Sundance):
"One night, Sarah's young son disappears into the woods behind their rural home. When he returns, he looks the same, but his behavior grows increasingly disturbing. Soon, Sarah realizes that the boy who returned may not be her son at all..."
