This first trailer for the upcoming psychological thriller John and the Hole has been released. Starring Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story), the film's synopsis is described as a coming-of-age psychological thriller about a 13-year-old boy who holds his family captive in a hole underground. The film's script was written by Nicolás Giacobone, who won an Oscar for writing the 2014 feature Birdman. This will be the directorial debut for up-and-coming Spanish filmmaker Pascual Sisto.
IFC Films released the first trailer for John and the Hole, teasing viewers with an unsettling glimpse into the film's ominous setup. With only a sprinkle of dialogue, the few words exchanged seem to be loaded with meaning. The trailer appears to be exposing a film that takes the concept of rite of passage and forces viewers to look at it through a more creepy, chilling pair of lenses. The seemingly troubled boy John, played by Charlie Shotwell (The Nest), doesn't seem to be much of a boy at all. Throughout the trailer's tense buildup, mixed with an escalating score full of deep synth sounds, there's the sense that somewhere between childhood and adulthood lies something horrifying in between—adolescence. Check out the official trailer for John and the Hole below:
Something is exciting about a director's first feature film stemming from a script written by an oscar-winning screenwriter. In general, the versatility of talent both on and behind the screen could make for a promising delivery. Additionally, longtime Dexter fans will be anxious to see a new light shed on Hall, who's on deck for Dexter's season 9 revival series this fall. John and the Hole premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. It will hit theaters and On-Demand on August 6.
