While I still find it amusing that the studio insists on calling it "Guillermo del Toro's" Don't Be Afraid of the Dark so as to give it some notoriety beyond just another horror film in the twilight of summer, there's no denying the promise inherent in that statement. The trailer, too, offered a decent scare the first time it played on TV and it boasts that del Toro visual flair, giving you the feeling that his influence was felt in more places than just the storytelling. Directed by Troy Nixey, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark stars Katie Holmes (Batman Begins), Guy Pearce (Memento), Bailee Madison (Just Go With It), and Julia Blake (X-Men Origins: Wolverine).
Check out the two clips, "Garage" and "Bath" (named for the undeniable terror people associate with both those things).
