Behind You is a 2020 American supernatural horror feature film about two young sisters that have to fend off a malicious demon
Behind You, marking the directorial debut of Andrew Mecham and Matthew Whedon (brother of Joss), offers a few spooky thrills to get you through another night stuck at home.
PLOT:
Two young sisters, sent to live with their estranged Aunt, find that all the mirrors in her house are covered or hidden. When one of the sisters happens upon a mirror in the basement, she unknowingly releases a malicious demon that had haunted her mother and aunt years ago.
REVIEW:
At the center of this story are Olivia (Addy Miller) and Claire (Elizabeth Birkner), sisters who recently lost their mother and are now being sent to live with their estranged aunt Beth (Jan Broberg). Upon arriving at her massive home, they come to realize that their aunt is nowhere to be seen. Instead, they’re greeted outside the house by Charles (Philip Brodie), a friend of Beth’s who guides them inside to introduce them. From the get-go, it’s obvious that Beth is harboring some very dark secrets, and the house’s cold interior is far from a welcoming sign for the girls either.
It’s these small interactions with the mirrors that provide genuine unease throughout Behind You. The demon, played to terrifying effect by James C. Morris, is a frightening creature. His unnatural movement is deeply unsettling whenever he’s on-screen, which, unfortunately, is not that often.
