THE Screened Review by Matt Rorie

A mostly scare-free film, the warning in Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark's title winds up being mostly unnecessary.

GB review user review

Troy Nixey director

A little girl discovers some sinister playmates in her new home.

Trivia:

"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" was originally intended to be released in January of 2011, but was postponed until August of that year due to Disney's purchasing of Miramax.

Quote: Harris

Get her out of that house!
