- Afraid Of Being Trapped Forever In Darkness
This review is for the Image release of "Afraid of the Dark," a very bizarre and twisted film of psychological horror.I may have enjoyed the film more if Image had provided English subtitles for the hearing impaired.Though the picture quality was excellent (presented in its 1.66:1 theatrical aspect ratio), the audio was weak; I had difficulty understanding what some of the British stars were saying.On numerous occasions, the child, Lucas, spoke barely above a whisper.Furthermore, Image ...

Immediately we're told a slasher is targeting the blind and introduced to a strange boy and his sightless mother and rigid policeman father. Though uncertain who the criminal is we get the impression a young repairman working at a blind institute whistling ironic songs can't have good intentions.
