With AnnaSophia Robb, Uma Thurman, Isabelle Fuhrman, Victoria Moroles. The film doesn't deviate from that. Directed by Rodrigo Cortés. AnnaSophia Robb and Uma Thurman lead the cast in the supernatural horror film Down a Dark Hall. Down a Dark Hall was one of the fewer books I read in junior high school that I liked. In the original book there were only 3 other girls besides Kit. A troubled teen named Kit Gordy is forced to join the exclusive Blackwood Boarding School, just to find herself trapped by dark forces around its mysterious headmistress, Madame Duret. The target audience for the book were younger teenage girls.
