Bump....Don't be afraid of the dark
So, my sister got passes for a pre screening, and I was excited, I love Del Toro's stuff, and this seemed pretty cool. Starts off promising, really creepy, crazy guy knocks his maids teeth out with a chisel, gets dragged into a furnace, fade out to present day and the most cliche plot ever... SPOILERS
Creepy child with divorced parents is sent to live in old house with dad and dads girlfriend. girl draws creepy shit a lot and dad says she is quiet. Girls see's little monster things, no one believes her for an excessive time, funally for the big atttack chase scene, everyone beleive her, people die, girl escapes blah blah blah<
Here is my first problem, Del Toro makes dark fantasy movies, and is known for making rather creep and odd fairies and goblins, and ensuring that nothing supernatural is cute or beautiful. But, what he makes, is never scary, just kind of creepy. The instant you see these things, you lose your fear of them. Kinda like Rat + Potato + Golum =


I actually laughed out loud at once point when they are swarming the little girl and she screams what do you want, and one of them shouts "WE WANT YOU!" and it's just pathetic.
All in all, kind of a crappy movie, and the first time I've really considered a Del Toro movie a waste of my time. I think he should stay out of horror and make hellboy 3 faster!
