Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2011)

My significant other and I were watching and making fun of Ghost Hunters International last night when this mini teaser trailer played.
It actually scared the crap out of me. This film is produces by Guillermo del Toro, and if this is any indication of what the possible Haunted Mansion reboot might be like then I'm on board.
Release date is set for August 26, 2011.

Here's what wiki had about it.

Yeah, this seems a little silly, but a) the trailer's fairly creepy and b) everything I've heard or read is very, very positive. Tentatively excited.

Very much looking forward to this movie, as the other recent film del Toro produced, The Orphanage, was very very good and creepy....love me some solid, atmospheric horror. Definitely will be in the theater for this one.

Did anyone see this film yet.
Need to get my butt to the theater and see this.

I did, and enjoyed it very much. If you go in expecting great design work, slow-burn type of creepiness, and a solid (but not showy/amazing) film about childhood horrors and kind of 'fairy tale' creatures, you'll quite enjoy it I think.
