"A collection of superbly wrought black-and-white animated vignettes." - Nick Schager

I liked the bug story and the Japanese school girl segment was rather unique.. but the rest was pretty forgettable and the monologues in between were horrible.

The parts don't all really complement each other, and some are much better than others. I haven't seen a lot of animated horror movies though, and this one was mostly cool.

They don't work well together for their styles are vastly different. However, they are most definitely creepy and I still remember the imagery from all 6 of these shorts.

Visually great...like the b/w optic very much, but there´s nothing scary about it, and the story isn´t very thrilling or interesting too.some kind of burton / gilliam mix but overall nothing special.

Too little in common between these six animated shorts to call it a concept film. Although I liked the idea of it at first, but it seems too little work was put into scripting, and in the end it is just a showcase of animators' work. Film offers a few different and quite interesting styles of animation. Abstract monologue interludes were my favorites, and the part about japanese schoolgirl was just terrible.

I only find the last segment actually scary, but they're all visually great, and nightmare-like. Just not my nightmares, and hence not that scary to me.

It's hard to know what I think about this as it is six distinct offerings. Half were good (the man in the house, the abstract interludes and the solitary bugwatcher) half weren't so good (the man with the dogs, the Japanese schoolgirl and the village attacked by a monster). Worth watching, I think. Perhaps it could have done with a tighter specification being handed to the directors.

"All told, the entire collection runs about 82 minutes, and it closes with one dazzlingly (darkly) amazing piece of animation."

The creepy-as-fuck culmination of an inspired collaborative effort, Fear(s) of the Dark excels in miniature horror ventures of contrasting befuddlement, disquiet, outlandishness, classicism and revisionism. Best is a segment concerning a terrorizing beast in which a sequence set entirely inside a young boy's bedroom proves what Fear(s) otherwise expressively alludes to: that animation can be unnerving too.
