Don't Be Afraid of the Dark Reviews
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.'
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.
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.
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.
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!
