This March, IFC Films will release the star-studded psychological thriller Johna and the Hole, starring “Dexter” actor Michael C. Hall, Saint Maud‘s Jennifer Ehle, “American Horror Story” actress Taissa Farmiga, and young Captain Fantastic star Charlie Shotwell. “In this enigmatic and unsettling meditation on adolescent angst, 13-year-old John (Charlie Shotwell) discovers an unfinished bunker while exploring the neighboring woods—a deep hole in the ground.
