“Be Afraid” (** out of four) was a tepid horror thriller about a doctor (Brian Krause) who moves his family to a small town but begins to suffer sleep paralysis and soon discovers that not all is right and that there are many hidden truths and horrors beneath the town’s nice facade. Krause’s solid and strong performance holds your attention for a while but story never takes off and covers all-too-familiar territory. By now, is there any horror movie in which characters have moved to a small town and been happy?
