Katselin tämän vuonna 1997, eli kauan aikaa sitten. Olen votettanut imdb:hen 9/10, eli 6-/7-luokkalaisena olen pitänyt jostain syystä kovastikin. Imdb:n juonisynopsis antaa myös mielenkiintoisen vaikutelman:





"A young boy (Ben Keysworth), facing impending surgery on his eyes to try to stave off blindness, wanders his quiet London neighborhood. The only problem is he believes that a slasher is stalking blind women. The film is a psychological study of the young boy as he struggles with his own adolescence, his disease, and his imagination."



...myös imdb-käyttäjäkommentti marlenoremitchell:tä on lupaava:



"Psychological horror stories often rely on clichéd images and stories to evoke terror from the audience. A notable exception is the film "Afraid of the Dark" which stars Ben Keyworth as an 11 year old boy who struggles with morbid fears of going blind, as well as fears of a stalker in the streets of London who preys on the blind. This moody thriller has a convoluted story and abstract pace that make it difficult to decipher, but the movie is worth the effort due to it's subtle horror that is mesmerizing! This one ferments in the psyche long after viewing. Keyworth is joined by a strong cast including Fanny Ardent, and James Fox, but Keyworth is the true strength of the film. His intense demeanor is riveting!"
