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

Actress/Producer Molly C. Quinn Talks ‘Agnes’, Faith, Trauma, & Horror In Our Interview

The supernatural horror-thriller Agnes is set to make its premiere at Tribeca. Ahead of its debut, we sat down with its star, Molly C. Quinn, to discuss not only her role but also how it affected her personally. Molly C. Quinn is a name you should recognize, she’s had roles in many films, such as We Are the Millers, Doctor Sleep, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2, but you will probably recognize her more from her long-running series role on the crime series “Castle”, in which she played Alexis, Castle’s (Nathon Fillion) daughter. She’s easy to spot with her stunning long red hair. In Agnes, directed and co-written by Mickey Reece, a nun’s disturbing behavior sparks rumors of demonic possession at a remote convent. When a priest-in-waiting and his disillusioned mentor are sent to investigate, their methods backfire, leaving a wake of terror and trauma, and another nun struggling with her faith. Kelli McNeely: “Let me start by confessing
