The Boy Behind The Door – Justin Powell and David Charbonier – watch now

The sophomore film from The Djinn creators delivers a horrific tale of child abduction. Two best friends, Bobby (Lonnie Chavis) and Kevin (Ezra Dewey) are abducted on their way home from school. When Bobby manages to escape, he doesn’t get very far once he realizes he can’t leave Kevin behind. In an interview with FANGORIA for their first movie, The Djinn, Powell said “We love kids in horror: Child’s Play, Jurassic Park, those movies really stuck with us, the kids in those movies.”
