    i agree with turok, putting guillermo's name on something is like writing a check for quality.

    I'm not afraid of the dark, just afraid of Uwe Boll doing Alone in the Dark, for all the wrong reasons. Anyway, I've seen the trailer for this at the pics and wasn't that impressed, until I realised it's a del Toro film. Not seen a bad film by this guy yet, so I think I'll probably check it out after all.
