Blackwood Manor has new tenants. While architect Alex Hurst and his new girlfriend Kim restore their Gothic mansion's period interiors, Alex's young daughter Sally—neglected by her real mother and brushed aside by the careerist father—can investigate the macabre history and dark corners of the estate. Spurring Sally's investigation are the voices—rasping whispers who call out to her from the basement, who promise her understanding and friendship, who are so very hungry and would like to be set free. When Sally gives in to her curiosity, she opens a gateway into a hellish underworld from which an army of beady-eyed, sharp-clawed monsters emerge, small in size but endless in number: the homunculi. Confronted with the horror that now threatens to taker her life and destroy her family, Sally desperately tries to warn the whole house, but there's just one problem: no one believes her. Will she make them understand in time, or will they become another chapter in the centuries-long horror story of Blackwood Manor? © 2011 Miramax. All Rights Reserved.

The original from the 70s is impossible to find. That one took place in a suburban house with a teen being tormented by little demonic creatures. The effects were laughable, but the movie was creepy. This one takes place in an over the top old mansion and the protagonist is a smarmy, annoying little girl who looks like she can't wait to tell on you & probably smells like farts.

Atmospheric and Terrifying I watched both versions of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and prefer this one over the other because I felt that the creatures have much more devious intentions for Sally this time around. I was only disappointed in this update by what I considered to be a weak ending. However, I felt that its climax is the best one that I have watched within the horror genre, hands-down. The scream that is released during this pivotal scene haunts my dreams!

It's not a horror type. But I believe it's a very good overall movie. People claim it's stupid and what not, well it is a pretty messed up movie. I've watched it since it came out. It's been 6 years now. Crazy!! But! It's a good overall movie. It has its creepy parts in it. Nothing ghostly if that's what your looking for.
