Okay, based on my recollection of "The Open Door" (1963), which is a segment from "The Twilight Zone," the darkest moment for young Jamie is when he firmly believes he has lost his father.
The specific details I recall are:
Jamie becomes completely consumed by the notion that his father's soul is trapped between this world and another, held captive by a demonic force or being that came through the "open door" – a portal between dimensions. He is convinced that the entity is torturing his father. The darkest point occurs when he can no longer hear or sense his father's presence during his seance-like attempts to communicate. The terror and despair in his eyes (as I remember the child actor conveying it) are palpable. He feels utterly alone and responsible, as if he has failed to save his father. He believes that the entity has completely consumed or destroyed his father's essence, leaving him with nothing.
How he overcomes it:
Jamie overcomes this through the unwavering support and belief of his mother. Despite the skepticism of others, she eventually trusts Jamie's conviction that there is indeed a demonic force residing behind the door and that they need to do something to get rid of it. Importantly, Jamie realizes that his father will not return as long as the door remains open. By the end of the film, Jamie's mother, now believing in his story, has come to his aid and they confront the door together. They eventually manage to seal the door for good, banishing the entity and (implicitly) freeing Jamie's father. The combined act of belief and decisive action with his mother enables him to succeed where he could not alone.

The film The Open Door (1963), directed by Henry Barakat, is a seminal Egyptian feminist drama starring Faten Hamama as the lead character, Layla. The 'darkest moment' for Layla is her profound sense of psychological and social entrapment caused by the oppressive men in her life: her authoritarian father, her hypocritical first love Essam (who betrays her), and her fiancé Dr. Fouad, a conservative professor who demands her total submission. She feels her identity and 'soul' are being erased by societal expectations. She overcomes this through a dual awakening—personal and political. Inspired by the 1952 Egyptian Revolution and the Suez Crisis, and encouraged by Hussain (Saleh Selim)—a man who respects her autonomy—she finds the courage to break her engagement, defy her father, and 'open the door' to her own future. The film concludes with her boarding a train to join the national resistance in Port Said, symbolizing her final liberation and agency.
