Afraid of the Dark

Credibility is the least of the film's problems. With Edward Fox and Fanny Ardent giving astonishingly wooden performances, it’s a clumsy banal work.

Debut of Mark People (co-writer of Bertolucci's Last Emperor) is a borderline pretentious cerebral thriller, aiming at delving into the inner workings of the mind, but acting by young protag Keyworth and James Fox and Fanny Ardant as his parents is good.
