Don't be Afraid of the Dark is a nail-biting horror from legendary filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro that will make you think twice about turning off the lights. Shy, withdrawn eight-year-old Sally has been sent to live with her estranged, architect father (Guy Pearce) and his new partner (Katie Holmes) in Rhode Island. Intent on restoring it to its former glory they have taken up residence in the foreboding Victorian estate of Blackwood Manor. Feeling isolated and alone, Sally decides to explore her sinister new surroundings with terrifying consequences. Having discovered a hidden basement she unwittingly unleashes an ancient and unholy presence. There's something alive in the darkness and it knows her name. Something truly evil and it needs feeding.
