    Worth a 1 time watch.

    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!!!

    Great acting. Terrible film.

    I can't even get into it. Starts off interesting but soon delves into pubes on a bar of soap. Really tried to enjoy it but so full of bad writing, continuity errors and becomes very generic half way though

    Just nonsense.

    On the other hand though I've ordered a Chinese takeaway bit I don't know what any of the food names mean so it's a gamble as to what I'm going to get.

    Child actors good. Story line horrendous. Oblivion takes all.

    Saving you 2 hours you won't get back. The story line is set early and in the synopsis - 2 boys are kidnapped by unknown men. It becomes a tense battle to stay alive, with the men being about as oblivious to what is going on as one can expect in a low grade horror film.

    What starts out with true suspensful promise unfortunately goes downhill about a quarter way in. The film uses a tactic to keep the suspense going that doesn't work for prolonged periods but the director iinsists on using it. At that point, at the halfway mark, the film takes a marked turn for the worse when the stuidity heightens.

    4 stars for the kids. Zero for the script. No rating for the camerawork which is almost always in the dark because... it's more suspensful that way. This was a total waste of time. As usual there are connected people posting fake reviews.

    Why the hate? The acting is great especially the star

    Not the best nor the worst but a decent little thriller. The two leads were very good with a so-so script and what seems to be a minimal budget. Not bad. Would I watch it again? No but I don't regret watching it.

    Suspenseful but rather weak story writing.

    The Boy Behind The Door has good and bad moments. The good things are the suspense building (nice intense moments that kept the movie alive), the decent acting (even from the kids) and the cinematography. The major bad thing about this movie was the extremely bad decisions that were taken by the kids but also by the villain. I get it that a kid doesn't think rationally but the amount of very bad decisions brought the quality of the movie down. It's good enough to watch once though, but I can't say I would watch it a second time in the future. For that there are better movies in this genre.

      The two directors are lifelong friends and look somewhat like grownup versions of the child actors in their film.
