Sundance Review: 'John and the Hole' Is a Whole Lot of Nothing Directed by Pascual Sisto Starring Charlie Shotwell, Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Ehle Published Feb 01, 2021 5 A sociopathic preteen boy drugs his entire family and wheelbarrows them into a hole deep in the forest that lines their multi-million dollar rancher home. He leaves them there to starve and wallow in their own filth while he indulges his every whim, driving their SUV around town and making huge cash withdrawal at the ATM to keep the fast food flowing while he games with his friends. That's the plot of John and the Hole, a movie that really shouldn't be this boring.
