The Man Upstairs

Directed by Wendy Wang

After being kidnapped, Julian wakes up in a stranger’s basement, where another child already lives—and where survival means playing along with the man who calls himself “Dad.” As the boys form a fragile bond, they plot an escape from a twisted domestic nightmare. THE MAN UPSTAIRS is a tense psychological horror about identity, obedience, and the resilience of children under unimaginable pressure.
