Following the success of Hereditary, The Hole in the Ground is A24’s next venture into the horror genre, which tells the story of a mother, Sarah, and her son, Chris, who move into a secluded home in a rural town.

The official synopsis reads:
“Trying to escape her broken past, Sarah O’Neill (Seána Kerslake) is building a new life on the fringes of a backwoods rural town with her young son Chris (James Quinn Markey). A terrifying encounter with a mysterious neighbour shatters her fragile security, throwing Sarah into a spiralling nightmare of paranoia and mistrust, as she tries to uncover if the disturbing changes in her little boy are connected to an ominous sinkhole buried deep in the forest that borders their home.”
For more upcoming films, Netflix’s Velvet Buzzsaw sees Jake Gyllenhaal as a tormented art critic.
