Critic Reviews

Fear(s) of the Dark, a French production, interweaves the shorts, linking the segments together thematically, and narratively.Full Review

Steven Rea
Philadelphia Inquirer

Shot in luminous whites, pulsing blacks and gorgeous grays, the stories explore sexual insecurity, rural superstition and sociopolitical anxieties with an inventiveness that's seldom scary but never less than mesmerizing.Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis
The New York Times

It makes a nicely grim little Halloween appetizer, although you may want to go home and hide under the bed afterward.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

These stories are frightening, but they contain few shocks or flinches; they're deeper and more psychological, more about adult anxiety than pure terror.Full Review

Tasha Robinson
The Onion A.V. Club

None of the segments are really interested in jump/scare/slasher horror, but rather the slow, creeping terror of feeling something is wrong and something worse is coming, making the film a most frightful Halloween aperitif.Full Review
