I fear nothing in the dark, except the creepy narrator. Fear of the Dark live up to it's title, a black and white anthology horror film centred on the worst(?) fears of the animators. However, ti was not scary at all, I only like the first story, the rest bored me to death and didn't make any sense. It is filled with expressionist ideas but failed to present it properly.

Fear(s) of the Dark isn't the horror film I was hoping for. It's creepy, twisted and dark, but is also distant. It's really a portfolio of work collected by a number of talented animators. Each of the individual tales has a dreamlike quality, allowing the films to avoid any responsibility they may have to tell a story. The artistic skills on display can't be challenged in anyway, but so much more could have been achieved with the expansion of just one story. Certainly worth a look for some imaginative imagery.

Interesting, ambiguous, but very uneven experiment. Fairly enough, Persepolis was the film that caught the attention of the masses. This little flick, on the other hand, had effective intercuts, some moments of intelligence throughout the script, and interesting sequences. If you replace the first two clichéd and typically "scary" stories and replace them, leaving the last two rather brilliant stories in the end, you have a great animated film. Lacked potential... 59/100

Definitely an interesting animation style and a pretty cool atmosphere is created, but it will leave you in the dark (no pun intended) about what the whole point was.
