Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is Director Guilermo del Toro’s remake of the 1973 cult TV movie starring Kim Darby.
The difference between them is that, instead of a housewife that’s terrorized by the goblins lurking from the vents of an old mansion, it’s an emotionally disturbed little girl named Sally (Bailee Madison).
Sally is sent by her mother to live with her father, Alex (Guy Pearce), and his girlfriend, Kim (Katie Holmes). Alex and Kim have been renovating and staying at the Blackwood Manor estate. Kim tries to establish a relationship with Sally, but is rejected by her.
