IFC Films has obtained North American rights to the psychological coming-of-age thriller John and the Hole, with plans to release the film in limited theaters and on VOD platforms this coming August 6, 2021, Bloody Disgusting learned.
Meagan Navarro was not a fan of the film, reviewing out of the Sundance premiere that, “John and the Hole is a subdued and toothless coming-of-age thriller.”
“In the film, 13-year-old John (Charlie Shotwell) discovers an unfinished bunker while exploring the neighboring woods—a deep hole in the ground. Seemingly without provocation, he drugs his affluent parents (“Dexter’s” Michael C. Hall and Saint Maud‘s Jennifer Ehle) and older sister (“American Horror Story’s” Taissa Farmiga), holding them captive within the bunker. As they anxiously wait for John to free them from the hole, the boy returns home, where he can finally enjoy and explore newfound independence.”
The film was directed by visual artist Pascual Sisto, one of Variety’s ‘10 Directors to Watch’ in 2021. It is adapted by screenwriter Nicolás Giacobone from his short story “El pozo”.
