The first thing they take is your teeth
Film District is giving Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark one last promotional push before the film opens in theaters tomorrow with this red band clip that is particularly nasty.
I hope this film finds its audience, I really do. While not perfect, it is a good creature feature that packs plenty of menace. Click on the player below to enjoy the clip.
Synopsis: Blackwood Manor has new tenants. While architect Alex Hurst (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend Kim (Katie Holmes) restore their Gothic mansion’s period interiors, Alexâs young daughter Sally (Bailee Madison)âneglected by her real mother and brushed aside by the careerist fatherâcan investigate the macabre history and dark corners of the estate. Spurring Sally’s investigation are the voicesârasping 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?
