The joyless slog of the challenges thus far gives “House of Fear” the grim vibe of a “Squid Game” level-up. In fact, the only person who seems to be enjoying the whole thing is Knoxville, for whom “Fear Factor” is a steep downgrade. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred Jan 24
...the premiere kept falling apart and crumbling every time I tried to grab onto something, like I was trying to climb a rope ladder made from dehydrated yak intestines. The only thing that popped for me was Johnny Knoxville. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Jan 20
2/5
The predictable game show features all the gross and dangerous stunts the franchise is known for. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Jan 16
It turns fear into something utterly banal and prioritizes alliances, backstabbing, and gameplay over the stunts, which was the only thing the original Fear Factor had going for it. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Jan 14
We like Fear Factor: House Of Fear for the stunts, as gross as they can get, and for Knoxville’s gleefully sadistic hosting. The house stuff is superfluous, but the episodes still move quickly enough for us to enjoy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Chad H. @Thechad77 1h Horrible, lame, cheesy and nothing is even gross or scary. See more Jojo G @JoAnimal 14h Awful! I can’t stand the roommate house bs! I liked the original with out the "Real World" feel! I’m not sure I’m going to finish the season! Johnny Knoxville’s hosting falls really flat! See more Trinity L @Sardonyx Jan 31 Challenges are okay, the show is another Big Brother/Survivor. What I hate is the use of real, living animals in these challenges. Straight up animal abuse, absolutely horrible. Can't believe it's being allowed to be on TV from the way the animals are treated. I like the challenges where they need to overcome fear of heights and fire like in the wrecking ball episode or in tight spaces like the first episode. But using animals in challenges where they are severely stressed, hurt, and possibly killed, is too far and awful. Dropping animals from heights, stressing them out to the point they attack, crested geckos that when they lose their tail it will never grow back, making contestants crawl in small spaces filled with these animals (which are being crushed by the contestants if not killed). See more Dylan B @DylanOdinson Jan 24 It’s a lot like the old one but now they’re all living together so it makes it that much more intense. Thoroughly enjoying See more Mandi S @mandiistone Jan 12 "Fear Factor: House Of Fear" takes the original beloved series and dials it up to 1000 in a fresh new version of the show that is sick and twisted and sometimes hard to watch, but thanks to Johnny Knoxville as host, it’s one hell of a good time.
