Trailer for 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'

Crrrreeeeeeeeppppyyy is the word to use here! The new trailer for the Guillermo del Toro-produced horror thriller "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" has arrived online, and it sure looks damn scary. Definitely something I'm looking forward to see. But not until Aug. 26, 2011. See the trailer below.

The story? A young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend discovers creatures in her new home who want to claim her as one of their own. Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce and Bailee Madison (good actress, but she annoyed the heck out of me in "Just Go with It") star.

Guillermo del Toro co-wrote the script, and Troy Nixey directed. I have to say this again: "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" looks very promising. It opens in theaters Aug. 26, 2011.

Worried about Horn’s involvement in future international attacks, the FBI sends agents Clayton (Guy Pearce) and Archer (Neal McDonough) on a tricky manhunt, unaware of the fact that the man they’re looking for may have a different agenda.
