A24’s The Hole in the Ground is one of the many films that premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, and I’ve been dying to check it out, even before then. At first thought, I was like, “Oh, yay… Another story about a creepy kid,” but after seeing the trailers …

It was common place while growing up as a child in Ohio to play in cornfields that were surrounding our houses. There was always a feeling of tranquility and security in this experience that is hard to describe. That all changed when Children of the Corn was released on March …
