Katie Holmes’ Horror Film, ‘Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark,’ Gets A Release Date

Katie Holmes’ “Dark” new horror film is about to step into the light.

Guillermo Del Toro’s “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” which stars the actress, has finally been given a release date – August 12 – according to Entertainment Weekly.

The film, a revamped version of a TV movie from 1973, was produced and co-written by Guillermo, and directed by Troy Nixey.

“Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” centers around a woman who moves into a new home only to find out the creatures that live there want to make her one of their own.

Guy Pearce plays Katie’s boyfriend in the film.

Miramax is releasing the film in association with FilmDistrict.

Last year, the film’s release was delayed due to a shakeup at Miramax’s then-parent company Disney. It has since been sold.

“We’re very pleased to partner with FilmDistrict to bring ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’ to U.S. audiences,” Miramax CEO Mike Lang, said in a statement, per EW. “Guillermo Del Toro has crafted a true thriller that exemplifies the type of high-quality films for which Miramax is known. We are thrilled to add it to our growing library and we look forward to maximizing its U.S. theatrical and long-term potential.”
