Review of Fear(s) of the Dark
- "Artist Blutch introduces a recurring story about a deathly-looking 18th century nobleman and a quartet of ravening dogs whom he lets off the leash one by one to run down the innocents (a child, a gypsy dancer) he comes across. Blutch's art has a wavy charcoal quality to it that proves truly unsettling, but by the end there is just too little to his piece to make it memorable beyond the occasional jolt."—Contact MusicContact Music: Fear(s) of the Dark Movie Review (2008)
