A last minute replacement at Frightfest after the digi-beta tape deck fucked THE REEF right up SPIDERHOLE is a British torture porn and slasher variant about a group of squatters who pick the wrong house to doss down in.
Despite standard genre plot points SPIDERHOLE is a solidly performed and directed film that skates above the cliched norm and fliers with just enough ambiguity to tease a sequel or just leave as one if those open ending horror tales that leaves you wondering. It is a fun British variant on the dead teenager film with enough nasty malevolence to keep this reviewer happy for 80 or so minutes.
Semi- erection and a smile for SPIDERHOLE.
(P.S. I passed the poster for this all night in the Empire and kept wondering "Who get's it in the SPIDERHOLE?" fate brought us together I suppose.)
