Behind the Door (2026) – 2.5 stars

Essentially amounting to a home movie, the production involves the whole Valenti family. Filmed in two halves – with writer-director Leonardo (who you may remember from Te L(e)o Comando) and daughter Anna in Paris; and son Nino and wife Perrine in Brittany – the gang make a valiant effort to make a short horror film.

Indy Film Library is a motion picture review service, which grew out of the need of independent filmmakers to receive feedback on their work. Founded by Chief Editor Jack Benjamin in 2019, the Amsterdam-based project quickly grew to five regular contributors, each driven by the desire to champion new creative talent, and offer the necessary advice for it to flourish.
