Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (2010) Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you a
horror film: "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark!" Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care!
The film begins in the 18th century, at Blackwood Manor. A maid is summoned by a bell ringing
nearby. She reaches a staircase leading to the basement to meet her boss, Lord Blackwood. She
begins to descend slowly. As she approaches the center of the stairwell, she trips over a rope
and falls. Lord Blackwood looks terrified of something, and towers over the maid. Then he
quickly mounts her, and we hear a murmur coming from the fireplace. Most of his teeth are missing,
and he can barely speak. He says he is sorry, and uses tools to remove the maid's teeth. he then
approaches the fireplace with a small ashtray full of teeth, and begs some evil fairies to return his
son to him, as he has collected the teeth they asked for. The evil fairies however, prefer to
feed only on children's teeth; so as punishment, they drag Lord Blackwood into the fireplace.
The scene shifts a few centuries later to a girl named Sally. Her parents are divorced,
and the court entrusted Sally to her father. Later, she meets her father, Alex, and his new
wife, who is now Sally's Step-mom. Together, they travel to their new home, which is the Blackwood
Manor itself. Once there, they meet the Gardener, who shows them around the house. Sally enters the
study room, and her stepmother follows her to try to break the ice. Sally seems disinterested,
and coldly says that her mother has abandoned her. Alex accompanies Sally to her room, and
tries to show her all the beautiful things inside. Nevertheless, Sally locks herself in the bathroom
and begins to cry. She suffered a heavy trauma when her mother abandoned her; and now, to make
matters worse, her father is with another woman. Eventually, Sally comes out and lies down on the
bed, saying she needs to sleep. Step-mom tries to figure out how to gain Sally's trust. However,
Alex reassures her that Sally will learn to like her. In the meantime, the evil fairies in
the fireplace murmur Sally's name; but she hears nothing because she has placed a pillow over the
vent, so that she cannot hear her parents' talk. The next morning, Sally is sitting on a bench, and
hears voices calling her name from the backyard garden; so she starts following the voices. Sally
comes across a "fairy ring" of mushrooms as she walks through the garden, which is a very
important detail. Some cultures believe that they are a sign of an underground fairy village.
As she walks through the bushes, she notices that they are hiding something. She shakes
off the plants, and notices a basement. Suddenly, the Gardener appears and tries to take her away,
saying it is dangerous. the couple arrive, and the Gardener warns them not to come back here.
It's revealed that the gardener's grandfather worked here a long time ago, so he knows some
scary things that the others don't know about. Sally points to windows that lead to a basement.
When her parents find it, they go back into the house; and Alex takes a hammer to find the
entrance to the basement. After Alex smashes the wall, they rush together into the same basement
that we saw at the beginning of the film. Sally is eager to investigate, and shifts her gaze to
the chained fireplace. She gets closer, and hears voices calling her name. the couple says it's time
to return to the house, and Sally follows them. The next day, Sally goes down to the basement with
a wrench. She starts unscrewing bolts to open the chimney, but her father suddenly arrives,
and she hides the tools. Sally reveals that she has heard voices coming from the chimney. When
Alex puts his ear close to listen, the evil fairies stretch the needle toward his ear.
Hearing nothing, Alex backs away just in time to avoid the needle. he decides to return and tells
her to follow him. As Sally is about to leave, the evil fairies completely unscrew the bolts,
and the chimney lid falls off. Sally approaches and finds a small tray of teeth, left by Lord
Blackwood a couple of centuries ago. She grabs a tooth, and immediately runs upstairs. That night,
Sally refuses to eat the rice, and Alex tells her to go to bed. the next scene shows how the key to
the basement falls on the floor, and is dragged under the bed. The evil fairies enter the house,
and Sally hears voices calling her. The fairies try to convince her that her parents don't want
her, and that they can be friends. In reality, the evil fairies are hungry and want her teeth.
Soon after, Alex enters her room, and the evil fairies hide. Before going to sleep,
Sally puts the tooth she found under her pillow. The next morning, Alex notices that his razor
blade is gone. In the meantime, Step-mom rushes into the wardrobe, and finds her dress in tatters.
Alex confronts Sally and scolds her, but she claims it is not her fault. Alex sees Sally
clutching something in her hands, and discovers an old coin she found under her pillow. Later,
the couple leaves for some business. While they are away, Sally sneaks down into the basement
with grapes, and approaches the fireplace with a flashlight. The evil fairies want to capture
Sally, but they cannot do so because of the light. When they complain about the light,
Sally turns off the flashlight, and places the food on the fireplace. When the evil fairies are
about to come out, the gardener comes down with a flashlight, and orders Sally back into the house.
Next, he points the flashlight at the chimney, and goes to close it. Unfortunately, some evil fairies
were already hiding in the shadows, and tipped over the flashlight. they start attacking him
from all sides, using various items from the toolbox, such as box cutters and scissors.
They stab and slash the gardener repeatedly, but fail to kill him because the housemaid
arrives. The bloodied gardener goes upstairs and collapses, with the scissors protruding from his
shoulder. When the couple returns home, they are met by the police. The maid is in tears and panic,
telling them what happened to the gardener. That evening, Step-mom takes Sally to bed. When she is
about to leave, Sally asks her to stay because she is scared. However, later in the night,
Step-mom wakes up, leaves the teddy bear beside Sally, and returns to her room. Soon after,
the evil fairies bring down the night light of the merry-go-round, and Sally wakes up.
One of them sneaks under the sheets. Sally crawls under the covers with the flashlight,
but happens to shine the light on the monster, causing it to scream. Sally bursts out screaming,
and the couple rushes into her room. They calm her down as the evil fairies retreat into the vent.
The next day, Alex asks a psychiatrist to help Sally. Sally reveals that the evil fairies tell
her that her parents don't love her. In fact, the evil fairies pray for Sally's fears. The
psychiatrist tells the father that Sally is very anxious, and has a deep belief that she is not
wanted. In reality, demons take advantage of her anxiety to enter her life. Her desire to love and
be loved is what makes her vulnerable. In fact, the fairies destroyed her stepmother's dress to
turn the couple against Sally. Then, the fairies tried to convince her that they were her friends,
in order to lure her into the fireplace. Nevertheless, the psychiatrist concludes that
the evil fairies are fictitious, and gives her more medicine. The next evening, the couple goes
out on a trip to town. The maid offers to look after Sally and prepares her bath. Sally enters
the bathroom and slips into the tub. Meanwhile, Step-mom visits the gardener in the hospital.
He can barely speak now, and tells her to get Sally out of that house as soon as possible.
he also tells her to go to a specific library, and ask about the latest works of Lord Blackwood,
who was also a painter. In the library, Step-mom finds Blackwood's last paintings that have not
been published. The librarian, who has studied this subject, reveals that these evil fairies
eat the bones and teeth of their victims, mostly kids. On one painting, she finds the inscription
"One Life Must Be Taken," and the librarian reveals that human beings can be transmuted
into these evil fairies. In all likelihood, all these little fairies were once human beings,
and most of them were children. This process has been going on for many centuries, since a greedy
man made a pact with the devil. It's said that the man would bring the devil the children's teeth,
in exchange for silver coins. Step-mom realizes that Blackwood's drawings are very similar to what
Sally draws. Shocked, she decides to return home and reveal everything to her husband.
On the other side, the evil fairies follow Sally into the bathroom and turn off the
light. When Sally gets out of the bath, the evil fairies come out of the darkness,
and begin to surround her. Sally screams and tries to escape; but the evil fairies break the lock on
the door. Then she falls into the empty tub, while the evil fairies with sharp tools crawl over the
sides and curtains. The maid and other men try to break down the door. just as the evil fairies are
about to capture Sally, the men burst in and turn on the lights. The couple returns home to find the
maid in a frenzy, claiming that Sally is crying in her bed. Step-mom rushes upstairs, but can't find
Sally. Alex speculates that she may have run away, and they go looking for her. In the car, she tries
to tell him what she discovered in the library; but Alex doesn't believe her. When they spot Sally
on the side of the road, Alex stops and tells her to get on board, promising that they will sell the
house tomorrow. The next day, everyone prepares for the visit of potential clients. Step-mom is
in Sally's room, and finds a razor blade in the drawer. Sally insists that she needs it to defend
herself, and complains that no one believes her. Step-mom tells her that she believes her,
and Sally explains that evil fairies dislike bright light. Step-mom comes up with an idea,
and hands Sally an old camera to photograph the evil fairies. Sally walks around the party,
taking pictures of the people arriving. She notices a small flower pot swaying,
and hears whispers. She gets close enough to see an evil fairy, and takes a picture,
which is startling. Sally is overjoyed to have proof, and tries to show it to her father, but
the picture has not yet developed. Later, Alex, Sally, and all the guests gather at the table.
Sally shakes the picture to get it developed, but the curious guests keep touching it,
so she puts it under her thigh. At one point, an evil fairy appears under the table, and tries to
steal the photo to get rid of the evidence. Sally spots it and begins to fidget, attracting the
attention of the guests. Subsequently, the evil fairy manages to steal the photo and destroy it.
Sally crawls under the table with the camera. Eventually, the evil fairy leads her down the
hallway and into the studio, where the other evil fairies close the door behind her. They whisper
that no one will believe her and mock her. Sally takes pictures at every opportunity to keep the
fairies at bay. On the other hand, they start knocking down books and paintings, creating a
mess. Then they start jumping on her, and Sally bursts out screaming. Alex and the guests rush
to the studio door, but find it locked. As Sally struggles with the evil fairies, one of them grabs
the camera, and climbs up the side of a shelf. Sally notices this, and hastily slides the shelf
against the evil fairy, crushing it. The camera takes a picture before falling to the floor.
Alex and the guests manage to force the door open, and find Sally crying. She claims to have
proof. but when she shows the only photo she has left, it is simply a photo of her screaming. The
guests leave, promising to return another time. Later, Sally falls asleep, and Step-mom goes
to talk to Alex. He finally realizes that they have to get out of the haunted manor. Step-mom
tells him to get the car ready while she goes to wake Sally. Alex goes into the garage, and puts
pillows on the back seat. The evil fairies are under the car, and use a rope to make Alex fall,
knocking him unconscious. they then crawl to the electrical box and cut the wires,
turning off all the lights. Step-mom grabs a flashlight, and starts walking down the hallways.
She descends the steps in the dark and trips on a wire, falling and cutting herself in the shin. As
she is about to lose consciousness, she notices that fairies are gradually gathering around her.
Sally wakes up upstairs, and calls her step-mom. She takes the camera, goes down the hall, and
finds her unconscious on the floor. After Sally approaches her step-mom, the evil fairies grab
her, and drag Sally into the basement. Alex wakes up and tries to get out of the garage; but the
door is locked. In the process, Step-mom wakes up, grabs the flashlight, and goes to the basement.
The evil fairies tie Sally's ankles with a rope, and try to drag her into the chimney hole.
Step-mom shines the flashlight to keep the evil fairies away, and tries to save Sally. Meanwhile,
Alex finds an entrance to the house, but finds the door to the basement locked. In an attempt
to enter, he peers through the keyhole, and the evil fairies use a sharp needle to stab
his cheek. Step-mom finds a box cutter, and begins to free Sally, telling her to run her shitty life
away. But Sally insists that she doesn't want to abandon her. In the process, the evil fairies wrap
rope around Step-mom's legs. She frees Sally, infuriating the fairies; and she is dragged
inside the chimney. Alex finally manages to break inside, and notices his wife clinging to the sides
of the chimney; but it is too late. She is dragged completely into the hole and disappears. Sally
cries as Alex picks her up, and they run away. A few days later, Alex and his daughter return
to the manor. Sally lays a drawing of her and her step-mom on the floor,
and says she loves her. Alex then closes the door, and they leave the manor. Moments later,
the basement door opens, and the wind carries the drawing to the fireplace. In the final scene, we
discover that the step-mom has been transformed into an evil fairy, as we hear her voice
reassuring the other evil fairies of the arrival of other inhabitants. After centuries, no one
has been able to stop the evil fairies, and now they look forward to meeting their new guests.
