John and the Hole
DramaThriller
While exploring the neighboring woods, 13-year-old John discovers an unfinished bunker — a deep hole in the ground. Seemingly without provocation, he drugs his affluent parents and older sister and drags their unconscious bodies into the bunker, where he holds them captive. As they anxiously wait for John to free them from the hole, the boy returns home, where he can finally do what he wants.
VIBE
A chillingly detached suburban nightmare. This film feels like a slow, creeping dread, exploring the unsettling quiet of a boy's burgeoning, unexplainable power. It's a disquieting, atmospheric descent into the void of adolescent alienation.
