From the abruptly terrifying to the deeply symbolic, seven very different visionary directors have come together, each exploring human nature's greatest fears, to create one of the finest (not to mention, creepiest) animated features in years: Fear(s) Of The Dark.
This collaboration of animated short films is guaranteed to leave you shocked and scared as well as confused and unnerved. It is not a film to watch like you would with any other- it doesn't have a beginning, a middle and an end. It is more a film to savor and admire as a stunning collection of artwork from seven truly talented artists.
Even so, there were admittedly several moments that genuinely scared me just like a good horror film would. The directors tap into all the classic concepts and genres of fear. (No, we're not talking vampires and zombies.) For example, fear of what's under the bed; fear of isolation; and in the final, greatly successful short... Fear of the dark.
This is essential viewing for all horror fans, genre completists and artists. I was inspired.

I will not review the film itself as it is best enjoyed without a lead in. The cover blurb will be enough for you. Needless to say though, you will not be disappointed and don't watch it alone with the lights out. You never know what is in the shadows waiting for you!!
Having seen this film at the cinema, I was waiting with anticipation for the DVD. The film is still as dark and inventive as I had remembered it but I was disappointed with the DVD. There is only one of the creators that is interviewed and the 'making of' gives little insight into how such a creative and collaborative portmanteau film came about. It has been lazily put together, the very opposite of the film itself. I was also hoping that the segmented stories could be placed in order (a bit like what they did on the DVD of 'Momento') but nothing. I am pleased that I bought it because the film is so good but the DVD package has gone nothing towards improving the experience. I gave it 4 stars for the film not the DVD.

This is a rare horror, animation film there are not that many out there. This is a very artistic movie and it is a very mysterious one too, a very well put together movie. Surprising it seamed very colorful to me even though it was only in black and white. The short films in this movie never have an ending.very creepy and a little bit goth|||||||||.BANG

Great little animated movie showcasing the work of some very talented cartoonists. A couple of stories don't quite work, but the nightmarish linking scenes with the creepy dog... Read more

So So
I have to say that I was a bit let down by the movie(s). I liked the first one, the C.Burns one. It looked great, made me feel uneasy and was very well executed. Read more

Style over Substance
Fantastic visuals but sadly the whole thing is let down by the lacklustre
stories.
With a running time of about 71 minutes nothing really hangs around long enough... Read more
