Critic Reviews

Glenn Garvin

Season 1 Review: With so many different directors and writers involved, it's always hard to judge where anthology series may be going. But the first two episodes of Fear Itself are good, goosebumpy fun, with the deft set-ups, rousing action and surprise endings of a comic book. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: Script by show creator Mick Garris and ensemble acting are serviceable but pale in comparison to the cinematography of Attila Szalay, production design of Stephen Geaghan and Brian Tyler's tension-inducing orchestral score. Read full review

Verne Gay

Season 1 Review: A breath of cold, bracing and - bless it - fresh air. Eisner's fable is dark, almost impenetrably so, though skillfully rendered. Best of all, nothing here has ever been performed on reality TV, the best I can tell. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

Season 1 Review: Fear Itself, which is directed by a platoon of horror film veterans (including the Hong Kong auteur Ronny Yu), delivers a lot of ripped flesh and spilled blood--terrible things happen, in particular, to lips and teeth--in the service of very little terror or discomfort.

Cynthia Fuchs

Season 1 Review: A little tedious for the rest of us, who have seen such exploration before. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: What they do have in common is wintry Canadian weather, a general lack of humor without having much serious to say and the fact that they are not particularly scary. Read full review

Adam Buckman

Season 1 Review: The only fear engendered by this series is the fear that the NBC programming department has been possessed by Satan. Read full review
