Overview: A wildly inventive, visually dazzling collection of tales of fear for six of the world's most famous comic book and graphic artists - Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre Di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti, and Richard McGuire.

Filmed in glossy black and white, the six interwoven stories to create an epic unprecedented phobias and nightmares come to life and show fear in its most simple and intense.
