Movie Reviews of Fear of the Dark
Movie Review: THINGS THAT GO KABOOM IN THE NIGHT
Summary: 5 Stars
Halfway through this refreshingly good horror movie, Rachel Skarsten's character says that society has prepared us to be afraid of things since we were children. She recalls that "Rockabye Baby" culminates in the smashing of the cradle; how about the gore in the Grimm Fairy Tales; and even a common prayer says "If I should die before I wake.." So being afraid of the dark and things under the bed and in our shadowy closets is pretty routine occurence.
This well crafted, sometimes jump out of your seat spooker, takes that theme and makes for an enjoyable nail biter.
Poor Ryan (well played by Jesse James) is terrified of the dark; the opening sequence startled me!!! He has been ever since an early trip to the basement resulted in him being dragged into a dark corner. Now, the poor lad is ultraphobic. He comes home from school and turns on every, I mean EVERY, light in the house. He has battery operated lights available in his room, and his father has even put brilliant spotlights around the house, although he defeats his effort in some ways by placing the switch in the attic!
Anyway, one night his parents (who have even sought psychiatric help for Ryan) decide to go to a party (something they don't do obviously very much). Anyway, a big storm comes along, and Ryan is left in the care of his older brother (an effective Kevin Zegers). From this point, many strange sights and sounds are encountered during this long, long night.
Director K.C. Bascombe uses lighting and silences effectively, and he has given us a functional family that obviously cares about each other. And there's no gore, sex, or rap music to drag it down.
It's a family friendly spook story, but one that might make you check under the bed.
