Fright night: Katie Holmes in the trailer for Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, her new film by Guillermo Del Toro


It's a long way from Dawson's Creek for Katie Holmes as she tries her hand at the horror genre in the trailer for her new movie, Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark.

The 31-year old actress has been fairly quiet on the film front over the past couple of years, after giving birth to her daughter Suri, with husband Tom Cruise.

But she is returning with a bang in this Guillermo del Toro thriller about a young girl (Bailee Madison) who is sent to live with her father (played by Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (played by Holmes) in a house they are in the process of refurbishing.

The young girl comes across a hidden basement in the house which has remained untouched since the previous owner of the house vanished 100 years previously.

The discovery of the basement awakens a host of nasty creatures who then try to takeover the house and the family within it.

This isn't Katie's first time featuring in a horror film - in 1998 she starred in Disturbing Behaviour.

The busy actress and mother has recently just completed filming the a mini-series for the history channel about the Kennedy's in which she plays first lady Jackie Onassis.

The eight part series was shot in Ontario, Canada and documents the rise in popularity of John F Kennedy through his presidential candidacy through to his assassination in 1963.

JFK is played by Greg Kinnear, star of the Oscar winning movie Little Miss Sunshine.

Katie is also starring in The Son of No One, alongside Ray Liotta , Al Pacino, Channing Tatum and Juliette Binoche which is scheduled for release next year.
