Due to the fact that her mother recently abandoned her, Sally has become a distant child. Although Kim tries to befriend her, Sally frequently alienates herself from her.

One day, Sally finds a hidden basement with a sealed fireplace. She finds herself drawn toward the fireplace, as she can hear voices that beg her to open it, promising friendship.

They gave us an R for ‘pervasive scariness.' We asked them if there's anything we could do, and they said, ‘Why ruin a perfectly scary movie?‘”

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark was rated R by the MPAA for violence and terror.
