All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Dont Be Afraid of the Dark (1973)

Starring: Kim Darby, William Demarest
Director: John Newland

Synopsis:
A couple move in to an old family house where they discover a boarded up fireplace hiding a demonic creature who want the wife for themselves.

My Take:
The networks made pretty good horror movies for the television audience back in the 70's and this is no exception.
A generally creepy atmosphere from beginning to end. A little dated and the creatures are little hokey, but dont let those little buggers ruin the flick for you.

Rating: So Good
