I understand this is a kid’s movie.  I get that.  But director Guillermo del Toro (I mean, *ahem* Troy Nixey) has flirted with the themes in “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” enough that I was expecting something more affecting than what zips by on the screen for 90 minutes.  Alas, del Toro’s production stamp is all over the movie, but poor sound mixing and undercut tension makes this a disappointing view, better as a made-for-TV movie as was the original on which it was based…
