The last time I talked about the film “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark” was on July 31st. Several days later, the first trailer for the film was released on the third of August. Since my last post, the synopsis has changed slightly….here’s a more updated version:
“Producers Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth,” “The Orphanage”) and Mark Johnson (“Chronicles of Narnia”) join forces to deliver “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” a tale of hair-raising, spine-chilling horror. Sally Hurst (Bailee Madison), a lonely, withdrawn child, has just arrived in Rhode Island to live with her father Alex (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend Kim (Katie Holmes) at the 19th-century mansion they are restoring. While exploring the sprawling estate, the young girl discovers a hidden basement, undisturbed since the strange disappearance of the mansion’s builder a century ago. When Sally unwittingly lets loose a race of ancient, dark-dwelling creatures who conspire to drag her down into the mysterious house’s bottomless depths, she must convince Alex and Kim that it’s not a fantasy—before the evil lurking in the dark consumes them all.”
I’m personally looking forward to this movie but what do you guys think? Feel free to comment. Anyway, I now have the pleasure to share this trailer with all the Eclipse Magazine readers out there. I hope you enjoy:
