I'm used to remakes of every possible old movie and all that, but I wasn't aware we were remaking TV movies now. ApparentlyDon't Be Afraid of the Dark, which just added Guy Pearce and Bailee Madison to its cast, is a remake of the 1973 telefilm of the same name, about a young girl, her father and his girlfriend who live in a house that's haunted by demons.

It's sounds like a Poltergeist kind of setup, as described by THR, with the girl becoming fascinated by the demons and the father being frustrated with what he perceives as his daughter's lies. Holmes will be playing the girlfriend, of course.

Is it just a good thing to see Guy Pearce getting work? Or would you rather he stay as far away as possible from Katie Holmes and demons?
