The Hole in the Ground
A beleaguered mother fears her young son might be an impostor - or perhaps she is simply losing her mind - in writer-director Lee Cronin's creepy psychological horror. Sarah O'Neill (Seana Kerslake) moves to rural Ireland with her boy Chris (James Quinn Markey) to escape painful reminders of the past. During a drive through dense woods which envelop the community, mother and child narrowly avoid hitting a local woman, Noreen Brady (Kati Outinen). The local rumour mill speculates that Noreen murdered her son because she believed the boy had been replaced by an insidious doppelganger. Soon after, Chris vanishes and Sarah discovers the tyke's favourite toy close to a large sinkhole in the woods. Thankfully, Chris reappears but he is subtly changed. Following a visit to Noreen's grief-stricken husband Des (James Cosmo), Sarah comes to the conclusion that the little boy in her home isn't the same loving child who sprang from her womb.
