A creepy trailer for producers Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) and Mark Johnson’s (Chronicles of Narnia) new frightener Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is now available online. The film is an R-rated remake of John Newland’s (“Police Woman”) 1973 made-for-TV creature-feature of the same name.

Directed by Troy Nixey, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark centers on a young and withdrawn girl (Bailee Madison) who accidentally unleashes small evil creatures from the basement of the 19th century mansion her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) are restoring.

The film costars Alan Dale (“LOST”), Julia Blake (X-MenOrigins: Wolverine), Jack Thompson (Star Wars: Attack of the Clones), Emelia Burns (The Condemned), Dylan Young, and Edwina Ritchard.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark opens in theaters on Jan. 21, 2011.
