· A family move to a small town, their new house is evidently old
· When moving in an elderly lady warns the boy not to go open ‘that door’ whilst the son does not hear her his parents pull him away and ignore the warning
· His sister goes upstairs where it is eerily cold she screams and everyone rushes up however this is an anti climax as it’s nothing
· All the siblings choose their room the boy is left with the last room, he goes to open the door coming into contact with the frosty handle as tension builds his action is halted by a call from their mother downstairs
· We are given the point of view through the doors key hole arousing suspicions as to what or who is in the room
· The family are outside and the children are being introduced to neighbours, the boy sees the elderly lady watching them he begins to realise only he can see her
· Drawn to her he wanders off she now realises she can be seen and whispers ‘you see me? Someone’s been too close to the door’ he is distracted by a sibling then turns to see the woman is gone.
· That night the family sit down to dinner and the boy tries to explain what he saw yet no one believes him and he storms off to his room
· The hall is dark now, he finally enters his room to find it creepy but normal with no window the door unbeknownst to him silently closes of its own accord
· He sleeps and wakes up after what feels like weeks
· When attempting to leave he realises he’s locked in and the lights are temperamental
· Stuck for ages he experiences many supernatural occurrences as if the room is watching him and things moving on their own and a impossible breeze
· He begins to be driven crazy
· He shows resourcefulness using skills heard of in the beginning of the film and manages to chip away at the door
· Finally escaping he is shown the rest of the house is derelict as he stands on what’s left of the floorboards
· The climax begins as he starts to be followed as he tries to find refuge in the destroyed town coming across corpses
· He is saved by a girl it becomes clear she also became stuck in the boys room before his family moved in and has been barely surviving, she fills him in that their must have been many others but that she must have been the only one to have survived after so many years as ‘she’ believes her dead
· It come out that the elderly lady was the spirit behind the door
· The girl traps the spirit a goes on kill her but in a twist she is defeated by the little boy
· The pair go back through the door unsure of what to do
· On exit of the room everything has been restored to normal and the boy can hear his family packing to leave their new home months after of devastation of loosing their son
· When he goes down to appear to his family once more just reaching his father as he is about to step out of the door his father ignores him as though he cant be seen
· His father steps out the door after a brief moment, the boy calls after him but nothing
· He runs towards the exit but is tuned to ash as soon as he passes the threshold
· The girl screams in agony as the elderly lady appears behind her only to say ‘you both died long ago’
