Review of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973) by Paul F — 21 May 2008
This was terrifying when I saw this... guessing from it's synication run, it had to be at the youngest 3 and at the oldest 7... what were my parents thinking? My only thought is maybe they watched it without thinking I was paying attention to what was going on.
.. This movie and the ending haunted me into my adult life. It plays on childhood fears of the dark and several elements still hold up very well. Others like the effects for the little demons make it clear that this was a made for TV movie, fortunately though, the director takes the right approach in showing very little of them during the film.
... - MUST SEE.
