New Movie: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, Now With Movie Poster Goodness

 There are two types movies - ones you hope are good and those you think, 'this better not suck.'  The Guillermo del Toro produced Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, a remake of the uber-creepy 1973 TV movie with Kim Darby, falls squarely into the latter category.  And guess what?  New trailer!

Spooky, right? Below is the official synopsis, but you're just going to go see this one, anyway, right?  Right?!

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 26^th.
