Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark

• Based on the 1973 telefilm that Guillermo del Toro believes is the scariest TV production ever made, the story follows Sally (Madison), a young girl who moves to Rhode Island to live with her father (Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Holmes) in the 19th-century mansion they are restoring. While exploring the house, Sally starts to hear voices coming from creatures in the basement whose hidden agenda is to claim her as one of their own.


• This was one of the better creepy/scary movies that has hit theaters. I wish that they would make more like this instead of the gorefests and lame remakes. I wouldn't say that it was jump out of your seat scary but it was creepy as hell. There is always something about kids being the target of the "monsters" that rachets up the fear factor tremendously. As for the monsters - they are pretty much the most original looking ones I've seen in the longest time. The movie was fast paced, well told in terms of the story development and character developments and they even managed to make Katie Holmes not one of the most painful actressed to watch.


• I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It's a creepy, tight story that horror/scary movie fans should love.
