Fear is never just make believe.

From the fantastic mind of Guillermo Del Toro (Pans Labyrinth) comes Dont Be Afraid of the Dark, a creepy, spine-tingling story, set in the modern day but playing up fears from gothic childhood fairy tales - that demons, evil fairies, gnomes and ghouls lurk just outside our range of vision, and wed better watch out. Sally Hurst (Bailee Madison: Just Go With It), a lonely, withdrawn child moves in with her father (Guy Pearce: The Kings Speech, Memento) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes: Batman Begins) as they restore the Gothic estate, the sprawling Blackwood Manor. Sally discovers a hidden basement, undisturbed since the strange disappearance of the mansions owner a century ago. Voices draw Sally in and she unwittingly opens a gateway into a hellish underworld from which an army of ancient, dark-dwelling creatures emerge - small in size but endless in number. As they conspire to drag her down into the macabre mansions bottomless depths, Sally tries to warn everyone its not make-believe - before the evil lurking in the dark consumes them all.
