Amazon Prime viewers label film as 'worst movie ever' after clip resurfaces online

John and the Hole is a 2021 horror-drama that is currently available to watch on the streaming platform for free and a clip of the movie has recently resurfaced online
Amazon Prime subscribers are up in arms over a 2021 thriller that's sparked outrage after a clip resurfaced online.
The film, John and the Hole, is a horror-drama from 2021 that's currently free to stream on Amazon Prime. Starring Michael C. Hall, the perplexing movie follows 13-year-old John (played by Charlie Shotwell), who feels alienated from his well-to-do family and stumbles upon an incomplete bunker in the woods near his house.
‌
In a disturbing twist, he drugs his parents (played by Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Ehle) and older sister (Taissa Farmiga), trapping them in the bunker as he takes over the household.
‌
The story probes into John's intricate mind, exploring his emotional detachment and the eerie family dynamics that emerge as they struggle with their unexpected imprisonment, reports Surrey Live.
However, the film's slow burn, ambiguous storytelling, and irritating characters have led to a barrage of criticism from viewers.
Despite a recent surge in interest following clips shared on social media platforms like X and Instagram, those who left reviews on Google were overwhelmingly disappointed.
One exasperated viewer implored: "Please don't watch this, I beg u. It's time you'll never get back. Two hrs of my life were just stolen from me. You'd be more productive going in ur backyard and staring at the grass, maybe you'll see an ant or bug , maybe u won't. Regardless, it would be better than this movie."
‌
Another viewer vented their frustration, saying: "I never write movie reviews, largely because I see it as a complete waste of time. However, this movie was so terrible that it's worth it to warn others. DO NOT WATCH. It was SO SO SO SLOW AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I found myself so agitated by how many empty scenes there were, and I had to get up every few minutes to skip through it."
Meanwhile, another commenter shared their letdown: "This was literally THE WORST MOVIE I have ever watched. From what the description said, I thought there would be some tale of the family trying to escape after being locked in this 'hole' by the 13-year-old boy. There was nothing. They were locked there and literally nothing happened. Nothing at all."
On the flip side, some viewers appreciated the film, with a fan expressing enthusiasm: "I love the movie! I don't know why people give it a one star!"

Ioan Gruffudd's wife Bianca Wallace reveals brutal reality of her pregnancy after his ex-Alice Evans shares reaction to their baby news: 'Some kind of torture'

's wife, Bianca Wallace, has shared a brutally honest account of her difficult pregnancy journey. The Australian actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the Fantastic Four star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as 'some kind of torture' during her first trimester. 'Life lately… Some real moments, because no one needs to be as shocked as I was to find out how f**ked pregnancy actually is,' she wrote, alongside 13 images and videos detailing weeks of intense morning sickness and physical pain. In one confronting clip, Bianca is seen lying in bed with a heat pack, grimacing in pain as she describes how constant vomiting left her bedridden and unable to sleep. She revealed she vomited so violently she threw her back out for four days, and shared a snap of herself looking pale and drained after throwing up 67 times in one day. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Australian actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the Fantastic Four star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as 'some kind of torture' during her first trimester In another photo, she is seen clutching a bowl of cornflakes - one of the only foods she could stomach for weeks. The post was both a personal confession and a public service announcement. She reassured others who may be experiencing similarly rough pregnancies, writing: 'You're not crazy! More often than not it isn't just nausea and "morning sickness". It IS sh*t and rough and f**ked and it IS ok to be honest about it!' Her pregnancy update comes just over a week after Bianca and Ioan announced they were expecting their first child together, posting a sweet black-and-white image of the actor kissing his wife's baby bump. 'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' they captioned the snap, which was met with an outpouring of love from fans and celebrity friends. But while the couple's news delighted many, it appeared to trigger a scathing response from Ioan's ex-wife Alice Evans, 55, who shared her own cryptic post following the announcement. Without naming the couple, Alice wrote: 'Some people like to go low. I can't. Not because I'm better. But because I have kids. This s**t is some kind of torture.' The post sparked speculation among fans that it was a veiled dig at her ex and his new wife, reigniting tensions from the pair's bitter public split. Ioan and Alice finalised their divorce in July 2023 but remain locked in a fiery legal battle over spousal and child support for their two daughters, Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11. Court documents have detailed years of alleged abuse, online harassment, and restraining orders. Bianca was previously granted a three-year domestic violence restraining order against Alice, with Ioan claiming his ex had embarked on a 'smear campaign' against them. Despite the drama, Ioan and Bianca have pressed on with their life together, sharing footage in April of their low-key wedding ceremony with the caption: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.' Ioan, who currently stars in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which has grossed over $400 million globally, has denied Alice's claims that she and their children have been left destitute, saying he's paid over $400,000 more than required under their prenup. Meanwhile, Alice recently revealed she had been evicted from her Los Angeles home, later launching a GoFundMe campaign to help her find housing. 'Thanks to all of you, my girls and I and Emma [the family dog] have a roof over our heads,' she said in a recent update, thanking supporters for their donations. While Ioan and Bianca continue to navigate the highs and lows of pregnancy – and public scrutiny – the couple appear focused on their growing family, with Bianca finishing her post on a lighter note, sharing that her dog Bubba has become her 'protector' through it all. 'This week… Bubba's still taking his protector job very seriously,' she wrote, sharing an adorable image of the pup curled up next to her baby bump.

Kelsey Parker announces her baby has died

Parker revealed she was expecting her third child in January, and on Sunday shared an Instagram post with the news that her son was 'born sleeping'. She lost her husband, The Wanted star Tom Parker, in 2022 after he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, and the baby was her first with her new partner Will Lindsay. Parker, who is mother to Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four, with the late singer, shared a poem on Instagram about the boy she was expecting, whom she and Lindsay had named Phoenix. 'For Phoenix, Born Sleeping, Forever Loved,' the poem began, with a caption: 'Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved.' A post shared by Kelsey Parker (@being_kelsey) After sharing the post, Parker also put up an Instagram story which read: 'Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heart-felt well wishes, I want to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share. 'But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news. 'I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space. 'Love always, Kelsey, Will and The Parker Family.' Parker has previously spoken candidly about how trolls have made her feel guilty for having a new partner. She said in March: 'I'm always going to have guilt but what's so hard is that Tom's not here any more, so what do people want me to do? 'Our house was full of so much sadness but now it's full of happiness, the kids deserve that more than anything.' Following her husband's death, Parker has raised money for a brain tumour charity by organising annual charity football matches in his memory. The 34-year-old hosts a podcast with model Georgia Jones called Mum's the Word! where the pair share parenting advice with celebrity guests.
