Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

No, this has nothing to do with the classic 1990’s TV show… This is more about Guillermo del Toro’s new horror film ‘Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark’.  I saw the trailer and was very intrigued not just by the story, but by the creepy little details in the sneak peek.  Every little sound, whisper, creak, and groan is brought out perfectly to match the dark shadowy visuals, and even the text in the preview is eerily illuminated.  So weather you like the trailer because you love scary movies, or you admire the devil in the details, click the pic to check the method.  (The film’s synopsis is below.)

Guillermo del Toro presents DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, a horror film starring Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce and Bailee Madison, directed by Troy Nixey. Based on the 1973 telefilm that 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. Akin to del Toro’s PAN’S LABYRINTH, DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK focuses on a young girl’s struggle against menacing and terrifying forces. FilmDistrict will release the film on August 26th.
