Horror Mystery Thriller

Not long after John Chambers and his family arrive at their new home in a small country town of Pennsylvania, John begins to experience sleep paralysis. Lying there paralyzed, trapped within his own nightmare, other-worldly beings visit John. They are entities which exist in the darkest shadows of the night and can only be seen out of the corner of one's eye. These encounters begin to haunt John, transforming to complete terror as he discovers the entities' sole purpose... the abduction of his seven year old son. In the end, John will uncover the town's horrific secret, a portal on his land, and make one last attempt to save his son before the shadow people permanently take him away to their world.

It's far from perfect, but these low budget horrors starring E-list actors bring up such exceedingly low expectations, that I actually ended up being kind of pleasantly surprised by Be Afraid.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
