No Hope November - Day 6 - "Don't Be Afraid of The Dark"

No Hope November Day 6 takes us back to the familiar grounds of the 1970's era made for TV movie. "Don't Be Afraid of The Dark" is a slow burning thriller in which a young couple move into a big old house. The woman keeps hearing things and discovers a fireplace that has been closed in. Despite warnings to leave well enough alone, she opens up the old fireplace. Not a good move, as we are introduced to some of the creepiest looking miniature little demonic creatures ever seen on film. Truly frightening, this film has an outstanding slow buildup to a satisfying conclusion. A very well made film, it is hard to believe the number of TV movies from this time period that were done with such high quality. Good stuff. I purchased this Dvd directly from Warner Brothers as part of their Archive Collection.
