Press

"Six graphic artists present their visions of terror… Each displays a fertile imagination influenced by a breathtaking range of sources."

Variety

"Six of the world’s most talented graphic artists and animators come together to breathe vivid life into their greatest nightmares in this animated horror omnibus…his monochromatic meditation on the things that make us wake up screaming aims to recreate the atmosphere and mood of an actual nightmare."

The New York Times

"A total of 6 intertwined stories made by Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre Di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti and Richard McGuire, have been smartly crafted into one piece of work….Highly recommended."

Twitch

"You have to be a certain height to take this ride and not have trouble sleeping later."

The Herald

"Sinister and beautiful…their sequences all reach into the obscure shadow land of the human psyche."
