The Hole) is a 2019 Spanish social science fiction-horror film directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.[2] The film is set in a large, tower-style "Vertical Self-Management Center".

The system inevitably leads to conflict, as the residents at the top levels get to eat as much as they can, with each level getting only the leftovers from the previous ones.[2] The film's cast includes Iván Massagué, Antonia San Juan, Zorion Eguileor, Emilio Buale Coka and Alexandra Masangkay.[2] The film premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the People's Choice Award for Midnight Madness.[3] At TIFF, the film also secured a worldwide streaming deal with Netflix.[4] It was released on the streaming service on 20 March 2020.
