“They Wait In The Dark” (**1/2 out of four) was a better-than-average horror thriller about a young woman (Sarah McGuire) on the run with her young son (Patrick McGee) from an abusive relationship but both find they are haunted by the past which prevents them from having a good future together. Ultimately done in by standard horror genre cliches and pretensions but well-directed by Patrick Rea and infused with an aura of creepy dread that holds you till its obscure ending.
