The Hole

 Teenagers stalked by something terrible? Check.

 Creepy little girl in Victorian-era dress? Check.

 Random dogs barking at holes in the ground? Check.

 Absent/disinterested parents? Check.

 Shot of feet going up stairs and cat suddenly runs by? No, surprisingly.

 In the movie's defense some of this is rather tongue-in-cheek, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. I was a little surprised to learn that The Hole had a theatrical release, since it is reminiscent of the straight-to-video horror movies I used to pick from the shelves of Major Video (which is not automatically a bad thing by any means).

 Like so many horror movies it starts off well, or at least decent, and then quickly becomes tiresome and just too long. It's unbelievable at times even by horror movie standards, and some plot point explanations appear to have ended up on the cutting room floor. 

 When you watch it on TV you'll see an early scene that will make you think, "Was this in 3-D?". And yes, apparently it was.  3-D seems to come back in fashion about every 30 years or so, and we're still treated to shots of boys lying on the bed and throwing a baseball at the "ceiling" every time. 

 Oh, well. There are lots of horror movies on Netflix and The Hole deserves a place right in the middle of the whole mess.
