Take A Ride On Me is a 2012 Horror film sequel to the 2011 horror film Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.

It like it's previous film is presented by Guillermo Del Toro though this time with another first time director starting out as Del Toro's Protegee much like Troy Nixey the director of Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, the film however does not deal with the Toothbreaker fairies whom were the terrifying antagonists of the previous film and rather deals with the two frightening fairies: The Puca and the Kelpie.

The film is directed by Del Toro's Hellboy 2 Production designer Stephen Scott.

The film stars Alison Lohman (whom's role in the film was taken in greatly because of Guillermo's loving of her performance in Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell), Angela Harmon (whose role was taken aboard seeing as Guillermo stated she looks like a older Katie Holmes of the first film and that she was a spectacular actress in The Deal), Justin Theroux, Little Elle Fanning of Super 8 and Phoebe in Wonderland whom is the famous young sister of actress Dakota Fanning, Little Boy actor Asa Buttefield whom was put immediatley on as Guillermo loved his performance in the Boy in Striped Pyjamas, the rest of the cast is headed up by Alex Dimitriades, Sofia Vassilieva, Ian McShane, Kostas Sommer, Lillian Birdsell, Dakotoa Goyo, Gabrielle Dennis and Collins Pennie.

Plot
The film begins in 1953 in the town of Ruthin, Wales.

Two rich owners of a prestigous castle hotel in Ruthin leave their two kids in the care of a young African Teenage Girl secret immigrant whom along with her in hiding boyfriend plan to abduct the two children and plan a bargain ransom: which entails they will given citizenship in the country and no longer be pursued for arrest as the two rich hotel owners' wealth is enough to purchase their citizenship in Ruthin.

The two kids named Hester and Leslie at a point catch their apparently good teenage babysitter meeting with her boyfriend in the hotel home and overhear their kidnapping ransom plan.

The hotel is completely deserted as all the patrons have gone out to the Evening Hotel 75th Anniversary Function which is where the owners of the hotel whom are the parents of the two kids Hester and Leslie are.

Hester and Leslie begin to flee through the hotel but Leslie stops Hester at one point bringing up the voices they have been hearing and the horrible creatures that keep coming to them.

Hester tells them to dismiss the creatures for their father claims that authority is the key to be the one in the position of not being the one harmed but rather the one whom harms.

Eventually Hester and Lester as they get seperated on the second and third floors of the hotel a power-out hits the hotel and the celebratory functions' lights are also taken out.

Upon this the babysitter Daneen and her boyfriend go for candles.

Lester panicks hearing strange angry voice noices occuring in the third floor hallway which she is alone on.

She enters an unlocked room and then goes in and hides behind the master bed of the unlocked third floor room.

As Daneen and her partner boyfriend Jerry light the candles from the hotel owners kitchen cupboard the scene is taken to Hester who on the second floor coming to the staircase powers the emergency staircase battery powered lights.

The noises from the completely pitch black third floor hallway proceed on through to the room where Lester is hidden inside.

We are then shown a horrible creature bent backwards over facing Leslie in the bedroom she is whom's teeth are upside down along with it's darkly red lit eyes reflecting on her.

The creatures spokes to the almost ready to faint Leslie saying to take a ride.

She bellow screams and jumps to her feet.

The scream carries and Hester on the second floor staircase hears her as well as Daneen and Jerry whom are coming down with their candles.

Daneen and Jerry find the emergency battery lights and begin to power them.

As they run along the floor hallways doing so to find them Hester is surrounded on the staircase by the creatures whom can't get to him as a battery light on the stair right with him barricades them away.

Leslie whom is still screaming runs forwards and exits the room running straight into Daneen and Jerry.

She attempts to run from them and is shot in the back with a dart by Jerry though much against the wishes of Daneen.

What transpires upon him doing that is a horrific demise.

As Daneen upon scolding him and him scurrying forwards to grab Leslie is a horrific looking horse creature which rips through into Jerry and tears him up as a blinding white light hits the hallway.

Daneen stairs onto it and becomes paralyzed with her tears turning into blood before she becomes as a solid still as a statue.

Upon this happening all the lights are returned to the hotel and the creatures trying to get at Hester are burnt away.

Leslie then wakes up slowly from her dart gun unconsiousness in time to see the horrific monster shape-shifting into the form of a little girl whom's the form of a later revealed little girl from their old school whom Hester liked deeply.

Leslie fights to her little feet and presses onward to the second floor staircase.

She however is not in time and the monster little girl with a beautiful voice and dance entrances Hester.

She whispers into his hear and he takes her arm and follows her out as all the doors and windows of the hotel bottom floor blow out.

Upon this the celebratory party with the parents there become alerted and begin racing on back.

Leslie presses onward and chases them all the way into the Millers Wood which surrounds the lovely old hotel.

There is a long winding lake which from above makes out the image of a crooked smile.

She comes just in time to witness her brother step onto the back of what appears to be the little girl as a piggyback but whom's face then quickly morphs into that of a horrific frightening creature and's head twists around to tell him he has made a poor choice.

She then contorts back and transforms into a horrific horse (the form seen earlier) and leaps forward off to the lake and leaps in.

As all the hotel patrons and parents come to the hotel and enter the parents themselves come on back hearing their daughter Leslie's screaming voice from the woods.

They run off there and come to her as she leaps into the Crooked Smile Lake.

The dad whom is unable to dive in being he is a asthmatic and the mother is not a good swimmer rely on a african american woman whom was nearby and has come to the scene.

She reveals to be a talented swimmer of the Olympics and then leaps into to get the kids.

She only however finds an unconsious Leslie whom she pulls to the surface.

As Leslie is pulled and resusitated her eyes roll into the back of head and her hand seizes the Olympic swimmer saviour named Harleen Denzel's arm for which she sees something frightening which we are not shown till later.

Upon doing so and letting go of the arm Leslie falls unconsious again and Harleen begins screaming uncontrollably which leads onto the opening credits.
