Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (2010)

There's nothing more disappointing than a movie you've been waiting 1+ years to see that doesn't live up to the hype or your expectations. This one was merely okay, not really scary, and after the critters show up (as seen in the trailer) there are no real surprises to be found. Mostly unsatisfying, with a few traces of suspense and creepy old house atmosphere.

CGI threats have never been, nor ever will be, scary in any form.
Guy Pearce is a great actor but he was wasted in this.
It was a warm turd.
