Trailer Debut for Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’!

Published

You stick Guillermo del Toro’s name on anything and I’ll be there. It could be a Barbie movie or even a sequel to Glitter — I’d see it. Hence the excitement for Troy Nixey’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, the Miramax redo starring Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce, Bailee Madison, and Jack Thompson. Although the geek population tends to be a little biased when it comes to Del Toro, I still find myself consumed in the buzz that the San Diego Comic-Con footage was “absolutely frightening”. MySpace unveiled the official trailer this evening that will give you all your own taste of the horror arriving in theaters January 21, 2011. Your thoughts? Give ’em here. NOW.Sally Hurst (Bailee Madison), a lonely, withdrawn child, has just arrived in Rhode Island to live with her father Alex (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend Kim (Katie Holmes) at the 19th-century mansion they are restoring. While exploring the sprawling estate, the young girl discovers a hidden basement, undisturbed since the strange disappearance of the mansion’s builder a century ago. When Sally unwittingly lets loose a race of ancient, dark-dwelling creatures who conspire to drag her down into the mysterious house’s bottomless depths, she must convince Alex and Kim that it’s not a fantasy—before the evil lurking in the dark consumes them all.
