Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is an odd title for a film that gives you nothing but good reason to be afraid of the dark, but I guess that’s all part of the fun of it!

Do you remember hearing about Guillermo del Toro’s newest horror film Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark? It was one of the most terrifying panels at last year’s Comic-Con, and we mean that in a good way. The film that stars Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce, somehow missed its initial release date, which was set for January 21, 2011.

The Extra Man premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival’s largest venue to fairly solid reviews (check out our Sundance Review).

It’s somewhat of a hard pitch to sell, but luckily the lead performances make it worthwhile.
Check out our full review (and our Sundance Review) for The Extra Man…
