FEAR(S) OF THE DARK (In French with subtitles) - streaming on AMC+ and IFC
Rendered in black and white and heavily relying on shadow and light, this is a dark, moody, and downright eerie animated anthology.
Rabid dogs, swamp beasts, dead samurai, creepy crawly insects, malevolent ghosts, and a disembodied voice scared of philosophy and ideology inhabit the various vignettes that unfold before your eyes in a rich variety of illustrated styles ranging from ligne claire to aquatints, and big eyes inflected anime.
Each of the stories adeptly conjure up feelings of dread, claustrophobia, paranoia, and in some cases mild revulsion, the end result being a satisfying cavalcade of chilling cartoons.
