Movie: Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark
Genre: horror
Synopsis: Sally (Bailee Madison) has been shipped off by her mother to live with her father, Akex (Guy Pierce). Alex and his girlfriend, Kim (Katie Holmes), are renovating an old mansion. Sally discovers that the mansion has a hidden basement. Unfortunately, she also discovers that the basement is haunted by some really ugly and really evil little creatures. Also unfortunately, Sally cannot convince her father that things are not right with the mansion.
My two cents: This was a good old fashion horror movie. The creatures were totally disgusting – and totally evil. I liked that there was not a lot of blood and gore. The best thing about the movie was Bailee Madison. I have been a fan of hers since I saw her play Toby Maguire’s daughter in “Brothers”. I have not been this impressed with a child actor since Dakota Fanning. I don’t know any child star I have ever seen who can top Bailee at portraying someone who is absolutely frightened out of her mind and trying not to come apart at the seams. If you like horror movies, you should like this movie.
