| Afraid of the Dark (NTSC Region 1) |
Eleven-year-old Lucas (Ben Keyworth) is concerned for his blind mother's safety. The neighborhood is terrorized by a razor-toting slasher who preys on defenseless blind women. Lucas' father (James Fox, The Russia House), the local Police Chief Superintendent, is helpless to prevent the mutilations. Lucas seems to have a sixth sense - he knows the identity of each victim in advance; he witnesses the attacks but can't do anything to prevent them. It is only when the slasher is about to attack a beautiful blind girl (Clare Holman) that Lucas is able to kill the madman and end his reign of terror.
Or has he?
Is what we've witness an incredible act of heroism or the nightmarish fantasies of a terrified youth, a dreamworld where truth is reversed and reality is a blur?
Academy AwardŽ winner Mark Peploe (1987, Best Screenplay Adaptation, The Last Emperor) makes his directorial debut with Afraid Of The Dark, a psychologically thriller where normal childhood terrors can lead to tragedy.
And nothing is what it seems. |
