In theaters today is Troy Nixey’s DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, which seems to be catching mild-to-scathing reviews from critics all over (click the link above to read the Arrow’s). Well, to make damn skippy people ignore negative word of mouth, FilmDistrict has issued yet another poster and clip from the film. As always, you can find the dope underneath!
DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK follows Sally Hurst (Bailee Madison), a lonely, withdrawn child, who has just arrived in Rhode Island to live with her father Alex (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend Kim (Katie Holmes) at the 19th-century mansion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.
Alan Dale, Jack Thompson, Julia Blake, Emelia Burns, Nicholas Bell, Dylan Young, Edwina Ritchard and Garry McDonald also feature.
