The Hole in the Ground is set to be one of the year's stand-out horrors, but the real-life story that partly inspired it was even more horrifying.

 

Talking to Digital Spy, writer/director Lee Cronin explained that he was developing a story about the "mistrust" between a mother and son, before that idea began to "slowly merge together" with something different.

 

"There was a particular news story I saw about – this was a long time ago – a man in Florida was watching TV in his armchair in his sitting room and a small sinkhole opened up beneath him," he recalled.

 

"He was unable to be rescued, he fell down into the earth and I thought that was horrific. If someone has a heart attack, it’s very sudden, but this was crazily fantastical. It got me thinking and researching sinkholes and what they were."
