(1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1   3/4 "At once imperviously artistic and ingeniously simple, this anthology takes the notion of being scared to one of its most profound dimensions yet."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari "the best piece here - Richard McGuire's hermetic haunted house tale, drawn in the starkly grey-less style of Renaissance - is also the only segment allowed to play uninterrupted."   Little White Lies   Anton Bitel 4/5 "Fear(s) of the Dark should put to rest once and for all any qualms about mixing animation with angst."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 3/5 "If it hadn't been subtitled, the horrific tales contained in Fear(s) of the Dark might have been what it took to take the genre mainstream"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti 7/10 "The fear described here is not visceral or familiar, but it is incisive. What if civilization is inexplicable?"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/5 "Because of its omnibus format, the quality and the creepiness vary from segment-to-segment."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 3/5 "One great cartoon and a whole bunch of so-so ones."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 4/5 "The sort of Gorey- and Addams-esque creepery that Tim Burton pastiches for a living."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 3/4 "a daring, unusual Halloween treat"   Cinema Writer   Jay Antani "Casts a decidedly uneven spell."   UGO   Keith Uhlich B "Richard McGuire delivers the coup de grace, a masterpiece of black and white animation and the best exploration of the omnibus's theme."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "A collection of superbly wrought black-and-white animated vignettes."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager B+ "If its French origins seem too art-house for such a ghoulish season, think about the last time an American monster movie provided anything more than business as usual."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 6/10 "Although this is a commendable study in the future of animation it is not accessible enough to be entertaining. Undoubtedly better films are yet to come from this group."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 7/10 "The fear inspired by these stories is more akin to dread, a slow, creeping suspicion that something is not quite right ..."   Playback:stl   Sarah Boslaugh 4/5 "All told, the entire collection runs about 82 minutes, and it closes with one dazzlingly (darkly) amazing piece of animation."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg Read review   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1
