While in Jacob's breakout hit Room there was breaks between sadness and fear, this time around the pint sized star says there is little reprieve.

Sitting down with USA Today to debut the stills from the film, the nine-year-old said: 'I had to act scared a lot with Jack [in Room]. But I had to act scared [in Shut in] most of the time.

Explaining his character Tom, who is deaf and has been swallowed up by the social service system, the actor said he had to go to a darker place.

'Tom's a dark character. Not Batman dark. But he's scared, has rings under his eyes and looks creepy.'
