इस फ़िल्म के बारे में जानकारी

An old house…a mysterious locked room… a terrifying secret. Elements that make a horror movie memorably chilling get a taut, spooky reworking in Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. Kim Darby (True Grit) and Jim Hutton (The Green Berets) star as Sally and Alex, young marrieds who inherit a crumbling mansion. Despite warnings to leave well enough alone in her new home, Sally unlocks the mysterious room, opens a bricked-up fireplace – and unleashes a horde of hideous, whispering, murdering mini-demons only she can see and hear. Alex thinks she's imagining things. We know she isn't. And we know Sally should be very, very afraid of the dark!

I was in labor with my first. I would not go to the hospital while it was on. My husband was a wreck. There were no vcrs or dvrs back then and they didn't always re-run made for tv movies so I wasn't going to miss it. My daughter was born 2 minutes after midnight. That was 1 hr and 2 minutes after the movie.

Classic and Moody I watched both versions of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and felt that the original was a fairly solid film in the genre of horror. I felt that its premise of the fear of what is present in the shadows was very relatable. I did not care for the patriarchal nature of the movie but realized that a woman's role has changed throughout the decades. I was successfully surprised by the final intentions for Sally by the villians!

Took me years to finally find this movie. It is THE movie as a kid that messed me up. I know it is cheesy from the 70s but I have never forgotten it. Now that I have found it, still too afraid to watch it!!!
