Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2011, Troy Nixey)

I don't have a whole lot to say about this one. It's a remake of a 70s made-for-TV movie that I didn't like to begin with. Here's my brief overview.

Little girl moves in to a mansion that her dad and his girlfriend are restoring. The kid is lured to the basement by whispering voices and convinced to unbolt the sealed ash compartment, thus releasing tons of vicious creatures that are inclined to drag one living person down to their "world"...

"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" isn't horrible, just nothing that blew me away. The little CGI hunchback spider monkeys are cooler looking than those bullshit teddy bears from the original. Still, it's pretty standard in comparison to most theatrical horror movies that have come out in recent years. Also, Katie Holmes has THE most bland on-screen presence I can recall witnessing on film. What an overrated twat!

You can probably skip "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark"...
