The first member of the press has seen Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark and it’s someone of weight, John Horn of the LA Times. A snippet from his brief, but really positive take on the film:
“While there are plenty of jump-out-of-your-seat moments, “Don’t Be
Afraid of the Dark” is distinguished by its restraint and creative use
of sound. We’ve all seen countless fright flicks where creaking floors
create suspense, but how many have used whispers — “Come down to the basement and play with us” — to equal effect?“
January 21st is fast approaching, so start to expect to to start seeing more of this stuff trickle in [I’m a producer on the film]. I cannot wait for some of you folks to start seeing this. I found out this week we’ll be doing promotions in CHUD’s circle of influence in the South but I’m hoping to expand that for this flick.
Stay tuned… I have a few more of those Comic Con exclusive posters to hand out.

January is a long way off… when can we expect a print to hit The Pirate Bay?
Nick, you do realize that Devin didn't call you because: 1.)He got the check, but pretended he didn't because he had a better offer from AICN (either monetarily or in terms of self-promotion), or 2.)He never got the check, but didn't care because he'd rather take the AICN offer. He could then call you a deadbeat and take the "high road."
I am a huge fan of both Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone. Del Toro has a way with horror films like no other.
I love the creepy built up opening scene and that awesome jump scare at the end. I seriously can't wait for this.
Cool write-up. But that article feels a little slight to be called a review. More like a preview, no? I know it's semantics, I just don't really get a sense of what's working in the film and what isn't.
Sounds pretty damn good to me. Because of all that Hobbit malarky it seems like so long since we had anything from GDT … this feels like it could be just the medicine.
