- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The trouble with 'Fade to Black' is that it's supposed to be a thriller. It's much more amusing than it is scary, although the killings are gory enough to be borderline vile"
-
"'Fade to Black' washes out by relying too heavily on assocations from older films. The excerpts from old movies are far more vivid and evocative than the host attraction"
-
"Boasting an inventive concept, with a nicely nuanced performance from Breaking Away's Christopher, 'Fade To Black' is a creepy little film that, perhaps, doesn't go quite far enough."
