Be Afraid is a dull, repetitive slog that does absolutely nothing original or interesting. Go to Full Review
Ernesto Zelaya Miñano ScreenAnarchy Jun 8, 2017
Has an interesting hook but it doesn't do much with it other than the requisite "boo!" moments you've seen a million times before. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Finn W Jan 12, 2019 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. See more
Poe L Jun 6, 2018 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. See more
Hagrid R Jan 26, 2018 Really a stupid movie. It made little sense.
Leia P Nov 24, 2017 Best movie I've ever seen. Amazing acting. Suuuper scary; almost peed my pants. Hot dad in here. Be afraid...of the acting. Really realistic, and Sykes would not approve. See more
Luke S Oct 16, 2017 really isnt worth an hour and thirty minutes of this campy acting and bad plot. I would recommend something a bit better than this. However some may find it enjoyable, but not for me. See more
Sep 13, 2017 I enjoyed it. Where is the sequel?
