El Niño Detrás De La Puerta

The major component of what I enjoyed about the film is the dynamic and poignant performances of the child actors in the film. However, my general feelings of the film's story progression is one of frustration and eye rolls.

I do realize that film's protagonist is a child so poorly thought out action makes sense. Child characters can't be presumed to have the most logical survival instincts. Still, I felt more irritation toward the antagonist or general logistics of the occurrences in the film.

Still, I definitely give it kudos for both taking on a dark real life subject as well as the actors performances.

Heart in throat. Not only that but I actually had to look away a couple of times. I did have to remind myself that these are tween boys making these decisions. That way I could keep on watching it even though the little scared sweetheart kept opting to run away rather than deliver a second blow. Plus he was scared, real scared. When you add that to the de rigueur horror movie tripe, I mean, trope that victims make poor decisions you are left with a horror movie that throws a fright into you. What's not to love.

Unrealistic storyline, this kid has multiple times to escape but chooses to stay and hide in the most stupidest places you could think of. Two tea towels to clean up blood from a dead body and then hiding under a bed to moving a chest of drawers to nose at pics all whilst the kidnapper is in the en suite taking a shower lol FIRE THE SCRIPT WRITERS...

Now do characters here (and kids furthermore) act and do stuff that you would deem ... not helpful to their situation? You bet they do. Is it the old and established, well if they did everything right, we wouldn't have a movie kind of thing? Maybe in some cases yes, maybe you feel in most cases too.

But having said that, the actors (kids - which I can't stress out enough are not easy to find - well not good actor kids like the ones you get here at least) are really not to blame for anything here - if you actually don't like the movie that is.

If like me you buy into the story and suspend your disbelief, you'll have quite the ride. A well choreographed and well shot one at that. For an independent production with a limited plot and time - that is all I ask for.

The kids were decent actors and the beginning was quite scary. It's terrifying how badly kidnapping and assaulting, abusing and killing of children as become an epidemic today. Sad that your kid can't even play in their own yard without fear of a predator taking them, and the internet lets them right into your home now too! :O Why can't we figure out a way to use technology to protect kids instead of putting them in More Danger??? And as for the reviewer saying its Democrats that traffic kids, You know what?? Political affiliation has NOTHING to DO with whether your an EVIL CREEP or NOT. People of all ages, races, incomes, political affiliations, religions, genders Can choose to be EViL MONSTERS, so stop already with your misinformation PLEASE!!!
