A young child Ryan who is 8 and has night terrors which are obviously all in his head according to his parents and therapists but they refuse to put him on medication and his older brother Dale who is left to baby-sit him on a stormy night.The parents leave for a party,the lights go out from the storm and we see the things come out in the dark and try to terrorize poor Ryan.Admittedly there is a little bit of suspense in "Fear of the Dark",unfortunately the film is relentlessly talky and dull.The acting is alright,the script is fairly routine and the use of CGI to scare the viewer is awful.This one is rated PG-13,so gorehounds will be disappointed.5 out of 10.
