Shudder Review: The Boy Behind The Door (2021) Is A Dark Must-See Thriller

There are few things in this world that upset me more than the abuse of children. That’s the subject of co-writers and co-directors Justin Powell and David Charbonier’s horror-thriller The Boy Behind the Door. In The Boy Behind the Door, “a night of unimaginable terror awaits twelve-year-old Bobby and his best friend, Kevin when they are abducted on their way home from school. Managing to escape his confines, Bobby navigates the dark halls, praying his presence goes unnoticed as he avoids his captor at every turn. Even worse is the arrival of another stranger, whose mysterious arrangement with the kidnapper may spell certain doom for Kevin. With no means of calling for help and miles of dark country in every direction, Bobby embarks on a rescue mission, determined to get himself and Kevin out alive… or die trying.” First off, I was incredibly impressed by the caliber of acting from the young stars who were both around 13 at the

Shudder Review: The Call (2021) Starring Lin Shaye And Tobin Bell

Lin Shaye (Insidious) and Tobin Bell (Saw) star in The Call, the new supernatural horror film from Emmy® Nominated Director Timothy Woodward Jr. Set in the fall of 1987, a group of small-town friends must survive the night in the home of a sinister couple after a tragic accident occurs. Needing only to make a single phone call, the request seems horribly ordinary until they realize that this call could change their life…or end it. Filled with twist after twist, the film reveals lies, secrets, and horrible deeds done by a teenage group, including the harassment they have committed against the elderly couple for years. In the first half of the movie you are given reason after reason to dislike these kids then the movie attempts to trigger your empathy halfway through by revealing their past traumas. But the group is flat-out unlikeable. They are rude, cruel, and well, just assholes in general, save for the new guy (Chester Rushing).
