So what if the rats of NIMH got a taste for human flesh? Or, not flesh, exactly, but I don't want to give anything away. In the way of hints, though, how about: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark doesn't not have something to do with Darkness Falls. Where it separates itself, though, is quality. No, this isn't quite The Orphanage, and it's a different genre than Pan's Labyrinth, and we've all seen the 1973 original, know that The Gate might have borrowed a thing or two from it (in the best possible way, of course—The Gate rocks), but still, as far as a pretty solid haunted house story, Dark's got what it takes: Stupid people, driven by greed A house you could tell was haunted just by using Google Earth A kid with issues Really, drop those three in a bag, shake well, and what you pour out, it'll be a haunted house story.
