The differences in quality, but also style and length of the stories, give Peur(s) du Noir a nice change and rhythm.

Taps into something primal in human nature, something that makes the hair on the back of the neck stand up and shivers run down the spine.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 7, 2019

As often happens with these portmanteau projects, some segments (Charles Burns' especially) are better than others.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 18, 2011

Graphic art and comics fans will appreciate its high-art wrinkle, but it's pretty tame stuff conceptionally.

An ambitious failure...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2010

There are some chilling sequences here, and it's nice to see a fresh approach to the horror genre, but the movie doesn't really dig its nails in very far.

Fear(s) of the Dark should put to rest once and for all any qualms about mixing animation with angst.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2009

This French-made chiller proves just how scary a pitch-black theatre can be.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 6, 2009

Fear(s) of the Dark is an unusual little confection, bound to be interesting to most viewers and downright riveting to artists and illustrators.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 16, 2009

Because of its omnibus format, the quality and the creepiness vary from segment-to-segment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 3, 2009

They all visualize the fears that haunt our dreams, but only McGuire brings them to full, unnerving life.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 5, 2008

The fear inspired by these stories is more akin to dread, a slow, creeping suspicion that something is not quite right ...

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 27, 2008

Brilliantly creepy.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 14, 2008

All except di Sciullo's are beautifully drawn, in a variety of distinct styles.

Full Review | Nov 12, 2008

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.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 10, 2008

Rarely goosebump-inducing and often rather dull...but you'll become entranced by the animation.

These six tales only scratch the surface of our phobic subconscious.

| Original Score: B | Oct 31, 2008

Maybe different things scare the French. But I'll give them this: Prattling monologues can be unsettling.
