Synopsis

Twelve year old Ryan Billings has been diagnosed with an acute fear of the dark. He spends each night lying awake in torment, waiting and watching as the evil in the darkness grows stronger, feeding off his fear.

His older brother Dale, suspects that there is nothing wrong with Ryan and that this is just a ploy for more attention. Regardless, he promises to watch over his little brother as their parents head off to a party for the night.

Outside a storm rages and when the power goes out, darkness envelops the house. Ryan knows that tonight the evil has finally come to claim him. Dale desperately tries everything to try and calm him down, until the horrors in the dark make him realize Ryan had good reason to be so afraid!

Furthermore, the composition of the soundtrack feels repetitive and uninspired, with generic motifs and predictable musical cues that fail to create a sense of dread or foreboding. The lack of originality in the music undermines the overall impact of the film, making it difficult for the audience to fully immerse themselves in the terrifying world of Ryan's fear of the dark.

On the other hand, while the soundtrack is successful in setting the mood for the film, it may at times feel a bit predictable and cliché in its use of typical horror movie tropes. Some pieces of music could have been more innovative and unique to truly elevate the emotional impact of the scenes.
