Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2012)

Sally has come to live with her father and his young girlfriend Kim,  played by Katie Holmes who seems to be crafting the look of a sickly Popsicle (hollow cheeks, sallow complexion, and giant head on a little stick body).

Her dad and Kim are fixing up an old mansion that's been abandoned for years.  In the process, they discover a massive basement that has been sealed up behind the wall.

Sally runs down to explore and as the adults look around, she heads over to a grate in the wall where she hears her name being whispered.  She starts to undo the locks and screws that keep the grate in place, but is dragged upstairs by the adults.

The creatures finish what Sally has started, and soon a hulking handyman is dead on the floor.  Sally realizes it's the creatures, but no one will believe her - even though the handyman died alone in the basement and was stabbed and slashed to ribbons.

After watching mostly bad movies, this is well done.  The acting is good, and even the kid does a good job. The story moves along at a good pace, but it's not necessarily satisfying.  There are various things that drive me nuts.  Why weren't they more concerned about who killed the handyman?  Why does she not show the creature she crushed to the people at the party so they will believe her?  Why did no one look into why a room would be sealed off behind a wall or get creeped out by it?
