REVIEW

I loved the trailer for don't be afraid of the dark and couldn't wait to watch it on big screen. I was the first one in the theater with my girlfriend for the midnight show of this film and the first one to walk out. If you are looking for a long scene by scene review of this so called 'movie' then you must look somewhere else since I couldn't bare to watch the entire film. i walked out after one hour and 15 minutes.

The movie starts off really slow...slower then usual with predictable story line. The run time for the film is 1:40 and after sitting through 1:15 with literally nothing talking place in the movie, i decided to walk out. Please be warned that this review will get a lot of thumbs down by Del Toro staff or groupies but i can only urge you to refrain yourself 3-4 days from watching this film. come back to this site in a day or two to see the star rating of this film plummeted.
