"Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is a waste of time, and the wasted time is an unbearably dull experience. The slow pacing and saggy editing worsen the impact of such a dire film, everyone involved seems bored and struggling to care. Clearly brought on board due to Del Toro’s ‘visionary’ clout, reputation here doesn’t amount to a hill of beans and the end result is an unoriginal, uninspiring barrage of tedium that isn’t even stupid enough to make up for the endurance of having to sit through it."
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is a perfect gateway into the world of horror films.

One of the biggest complaints you hear about Netflix Streaming is their lack of quality films. To a certain extent I would agree with that sentiment but for whatever reason I don’t have as big of a problem with their lineup as some customers do. Most of the films I watch on Netflix are more geared towards older catalog titles than new releases so that probably has a lot to do with my higher level of satisfaction. For May however Netflix has added several new releases in addition to adding a large amount of interesting catalog titles.
About time. While I appreciate the selection of older movies, Netflix is seriously lacking with newer releases compared to other streaming services.
eh better then hulu plus, ive never heard of at least half of the movies they got, they look like straight to dvd crap to me
I'm considering Amazon's service. If I upgrade my account to Amazon Prime, it might be worth it for the streaming.
I've been thinking about trying out prime but it seems as thought u gotta rummage through everything just to find the free stuff, and every time i go on ill be tempted to buy movies then there goes the rent
you can get american netflix with a VPN service. like Unblock-US it costs a little extra but hey i say its worth it
Starship troopers :)
I wish they'd add Season 4 of the old Twilight Zone though :( it looks kind of sad to see Seasons 1-3 then jumps right to 5.

If the story is stale or the characters just aren’t doing it for you then you know he’ll make up for it with the scenery, but this time visionary director del Toro hands over his script to newcomer Troy Nixey. Nixey victoriously secures the visual feel of a del Toro production, but for every strong moment of true terror there’s a long stretch of drab dialogue. Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark offers a healthy supply of scares, but their unbalanced with the rest of the film."
I wanted to see this but I never got a chance. If anyone did was it as spooky as it seemed in the previews?
This movie is horrible, just too many flaws, it was painful to watch!
