This is no horror movie; there is past trauma and tragedy a-plenty, but for the most part, this is a warm-hearted drama that plays out like a modern Mr Chips story.

It's all rather standardized and cliché... But it's worth seeing, possibly because of Jared Harris' performance.

The film is a loving tribute from a son to a father figure, but perhaps Deen is too close to the story to have much perspective on it. We’ve seen this story before and “Brave the Dark” doesn’t shed new light.

...it’s comforting when a film comes along that manages to remind you in a foundational way that truly noble people do exist. And that is exactly what I felt after watching Brave The Dark.
