Don't Be Afraid of the Dark Ratings & Reviews
Chris
December 29, 2024
“When will they come? When will they come? When will they come set us free?” - Creatures A simple and fun little made for TV horror. Kids today would pay no attention to this, but trust me as a kid of the seventies who caught this on reruns. This was the reason I didn’t sleep in the dark. 😳👀🌅🔦💡🕯
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
An impressive little thriller, full of uniquely unnerving notions, and a surefire bit of amusement for those flustered by monsters under the bed.
IGN DVD
R.L. Shaffer
Certainly inspirational and occasionally haunting, with great effects, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is also a bit overlong and padded.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
The husband's hostility seems to encourage disaster, and the depiction of the couple's relationship offers something of a preview of what Stanley Kubrick would do with Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall in the early part of 'The Shining.'
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
If you were a child and saw it for the first time on television some four decades ago, it might have seemed pretty scary.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
Sticks to the familiar but he does it in such a way that it's still extremely creepy, a little bit campy and, at times, quite a lot of fun.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
That ending would have been enough to send little ones to bed with nightmares for weeks!
