Be Afraid is a dull, repetitive slog that does absolutely nothing original or interesting.

I'd give this move a much better rating than most of the critics i see here. While it's not the best, it's definitely worth your time.

What can I say about a movie I barely remember after watching. And no, I wasn’t sleeping at all. A family moves into a new house and it seems that a monster keeps terrorizing their youngest son. Maybe they could play with the fact that the parents think the kid needs some time to adjust to their new surroundings. And spice things up with some creepy unexplainable moments. But this film tells us right off the bat that there’s a monster that abducts children. With no mystery, the rest is a waste of time.

The movie had potential but it just didn't make sense at the end. I keep trying to figure it out but it really makes no sense when it gets to the end.

If you like horror movies it may keep you entertained, but nothing to write home about.
