Slant Magazine -
The film gradually becomes something more than a mixtape of horror gimmicks as it homes in on a frightening real-world subtext.

Film Threat -
The Hole In the Ground surprised me, took me on a fun ride, and returned me, almost unshaken. This was a brilliantly satisfying monster movie.

The Hollywood Reporter -
[It] will evoke comparisons for many with The Babadook, and while this is more generically conventional than Jennifer Kent's breakout thriller, it still taps potently into parental anxieties and primal fears.
