Couple In A Hole Blu Ray – Corinne Masiero , Paul Higgins

Paul Higgins and Kate Dickie star as a couple living a secluded life in the woods in this thriller directed by Tom Geens. The film follows Scottish couple John and Karen (Higgins and Dickie) as they retreat to a remote part of the French countryside to live a life devoid of modernity in a hollowed tree. As John sets traps, forages for food and water while Karen tends to their homely needs, it unravels that the pair have fled tragedy and have given up their privileges and sought quiet refuge in an attempt to overcome their sadness. After Karen is bitten by a spider John is forced to turn to nearby villagers for help, a decision that will force the couple to confront their issues for the first time.

After their isolated house is destroyed by a wildfire, John (Paul Higgins) and Karen (Kate Dickie) take refuge in the nearby forest and eke out a feral existence, staying away from the villagers in the valley below. As the couple’s backstory unfolds, the reasons for their self-imposed isolation and their deep grief become apparent. When an overly concerned local farmer Andre (Jérôme Kircher) tries to help them, the couple’s relationship becomes ever more fragile and unstable leading to a violent and emotional climax.
