This plot device works well with the non-linear plots that are said to be typical of stories of, by, or relating to female characters or to the real-life lives of real-life women.

Plot Outline A research vessel finds a missing ship, commanded by a mysterious scientist, on the edge of a fl hole.
This is one case of a triumph of art direction and special effects over story--it's worth sitting through it to see the magnificent scene of the fireball rolling through the ship's enormous hull alone.
To its credit, The Black Hole managed to beat Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) by two years with what's essentially the "giant boulder scene", but that's not much to credit it with, especially given how much better Steven Spielberg uses the idea.

 The Hole
Such is the level of intelligence of The Hole, a film that contains three reasonalby big names (Thora Birch, Keira Knightley, Embeth Davidtz), but still didn't merit a theatrical release -- despite a pre-fameshot of Knightley sans shirt.
The horrors of The Hole's hopeless plot are nearly trumped by the appalling British accent that Birch puts on, but it's the ridiculous structure and unlikely setup here that makes the whole affair go down in flames.
Based on a book written by an 18-year-old in 1993 and directed by the man behind Godsend, the only thing going for The Hole is a perverse need to watch as it falls apart.
