French animated feature FEAR(S) OF THE DARK will get a limited release in the U.S. in October through December, mostly at Landmark theaters nationwide. Go to IFC Ent. for a full list of dates and theaters.
FEAR(S) OF THE DARK is an inventive and visually dazzling collection of fearful tales by six comic and graphic artists: Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre Di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti, and Richard McGuire.
From a besotted student whose girlfriend is weirdly ardent in her affections, to a Japanese schoolgirl menaced by a long-dead samurai, and a pack of hounds on a bloodthirsty rampage, FEAR(S) has a story strand to trouble every sleep - not to mention a stunning range of animation styles. Shot in black and white, the six intertwined tales create an unprecedented epic where phobias and nightmares come to life and reveal Fear at its most naked and intense.
