"There are a handful of decent scares, and that's really all that should matter when it comes to a horror film. Combine that with a cast of talented young actresses, and I can think of worse ways to spend an evening at the movies." - Paul Onkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Everything that does work in the film has been done in better, more interesting ways in other horror films. The film is competent, but feels redundant." - Josh Manning, NY Daily News
"Fear of the Dark features a ridiculous amount of set-up, only for the payoff to not really be that intriguing. When you spend so much time setting up the characters and the rules of a horror film, you need to give the audience a little more - and hopefully something they haven't seen before." - Scott E. Kerr, Chicago Reader
