Jessica Kiang The Playlist "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. Rated: B- Aug 23, 2014 Full Review Steve Macfarlane Slant Magazine 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. Rated: 3/4 Mar 19, 2014 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter 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... Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A map of the dis-ease of Argentina's wealthy people whose minds are awash in fear and paranoia. Rated: 4/5 Mar 18, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member verdaremente el cine latino esta en auge.. me gusto mucho este film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
