B-
"History of Fear" displays an almost slavish devotion to the notion put forward most succinctly in its title, attempting to make fear itself the subject of the film, as if it were a tangible entity. Go to Full Review Steve Macfarlane Slant Magazine 03/19/2014
3/4
Often in the space of a single shot, History of Fear will propose a lopsided power dynamic between characters, only to sculpt the scene to yield still more unreconciled tensions. Go to Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter 06/08/2020
Argentine director Benjamin Naishtat conjures up the spirit and unsettling rhythms of "The Blair Witch Project" in this weirdly wired sample of the paranoia that envelops the citizens of Buenos Aires... Go to Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice 03/18/2014

11/24/2014 verdaremente el cine latino esta en auge.. me gusto mucho este film See more 10/09/2014 Someone I know put it best when they said that first this is about nothing and then it turns into a very poor version of Coherence. I must have dozed off when the interesting bit happened.... It starts off rather promising but History of Fear goes downhill fast and though it's only 80 minutes long, it feels like a 3 hour slog. A couple of beautiful shots of people standing around in a foggy park towards the end are bout the only memorable thing. See more Read all reviews
