UK Trailer Debut: Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark

Having just recorded a commentary track for the original Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark TV movie coming from Warner Archives in August, I’ve been reminded just how much I’m anticipating the Guillermo del Toro produced remake! Speaking of which, our friends across the pond have scored themselves a new trailer. Dig it!

Look for the flick Stateside on August 26th and in the UK on August 12th.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark follows Sally (Bailee Madison), a young girl who moves to Rhode Island to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) in the 19th-century mansion they are restoring. Having stumbled upon the mansion’s hidden basement, Sally starts hearing voices calling out from the bolted ash pit, imploring her to open it. Sally obliges and unwittingly unleashes something so terrible, so unthinkable, that everyone’s life – hers most of all – is placed in immediate and grave danger.

Troy Nixie directs.
