This DVD is 55 MINUTES LONG! 55 minutes of garbage, and I really liked the program on MTV. Sure would be nice if MTV just offered the program for sale by season. They say on their web site that is coming soon. Whether it is or not, DO NOT waste your money on this frisbee.

I have seen the shows on MTV, and this compilation edition was a big disappointment. It is only 55 minutes long and shows about 5 dares. The ones shown were not the best of the show and, in my opinion, were poorly edited. Jumping from the actual dare to what the contestants were thinking about at the time was very irritating. Some contestants were explaining in one way or another, that it was their imagination which takes the fear factor out of the viewing. If you have seen the shows, this compilation is a waste of time!

I saw a one-off show broadcast on British TV and thought the blair-witch style gameshow was amazing. It had my eyes glued to the screen for the whole episode, and was scarier than anything I'd seen before. After searching around I got the DVD with high expectations but I have to say it was a dissapointment. The DVD only features about 6 dares, and at that you would expect them to be the best. They are not! The dares are spoiled by constant cuts to commentary from the contestants which means you can never settle into the action. The biggest downfall on the DVD is that it takes the freight out of the successful episodes. If you get a chance to see Fear on TV or know a friend that has any episodes, it's a must see. But as for this DVD, leave it on the shelf!

I havent seen this show although i would like to but living in England means i dont get to. I recently bought the fan made dvd collection of every episode including the other side of fear and faces of fear shows after seeing the two episodes of the show that were shown in Britain. The show FEAR is really amazing i loved it (there is a petition to try and get MTV to make more episodes at http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fear ) I suggest anyone who has not seen this show should get hold of a copy of pretty much any episode and anyone who has to sign the petition to bring the greatest show ever back!

I know that some may not agree with the title of my review, but I truly believe it. I admit MTV could have done much better, but it is still a solid video. If you have never seen the show, it might be a little confusing. If you have seen the show, you will feel that seeing dares out of the context of a whole episode is a bit strange. Bottom line, if you enjoy thought provoking reality tv, you might like Fear. If you want to know more about the show, this is the video for you. My biggest complaint is that it is a small cross section of the first season. My biggest compliment is that all the dares on it are some of the best. I highly recommend this DVD or video!

the DVD was very bad,it does not play well, it was put together with no thought or production team. please do not waste your money or time.

I was not impressed. I thought it would be more of the old "Fear" episodes but wasn't.

Ah, what can be said about the Fear series? Not too much, except that the premise involves depositing desperate, college-aged panzies in a desolate location, allowing their own fears to torture & consume them. Quite shadowmantic, actually. It actually is quite entertaining, as the assimilates are placed into a situation of distress, & forced to both confront their own 'demons', & those which the writers {the puppet-masters} create for them. This writer would enjoy creating horror-based scenarios for these spineless, greedy, impressionable simpletons. Like mice in a puzzle do they amble to & fro, ironically motivated by that which has been called "the root of all evil" {the 'root of most pleasures', actually} - in this case, $5,000 - to possess notes marked with Masonic symbols. One hilarious part of this episode was when one of the members was whispering 'the lord's prayer' to himself, while apologizing & asking forgiveness for his greediness. "Forgive me, but I really need the money" {human nature wills-out} - indeed - while tracing a pentagram into the earth. Hypocritically ridiculous to say the least, but it did make for an amusing spectacle.

So these typically money-grubbing 'christians' {or conveniently so, as everybody suddenly becomes a devout 'christian' when a Satanist is present} utter their prayers, with a weakan bent, the whole way through the darkness of the woods. Such as one of the members snivling in the coffin while one of the others shovels dirt upon it, while unbeknownst to her, one of her team-mates lies therein. I must say, kudos to the writers for that one. He undergoes the distress of clausterphobia, while she may have experienced the fright of her life had he decided to quit the dare & arise therefrom. Some of the psychological manipulations are remarkable. That stunt was certainly more torturous than the so-called "mental-endurance test" one of them was subjected to - please. Inserting his head into a cage while cute fuzzy rats critter outside its perimeters. Why not allow the rats to crawl directly onto his head while in the cage? That may have proved to be more effective in inciting a more dramatic reaction. Slathering his head with hot melted cheese, or containing a portion in his mouth, that would have been even more amusing. [insert head cheese reference here]

The coffin scene alludes to "L'Air Epais", Our Templar ritual, but they only just barely scratch the surface when it comes to experiencing the Satanic ritual environment, as in the symbolic death & rebirth references.

One girl decided to leave the scene entirely {there is always one}, instead of having to be subjected to the "psychomantium chamber" {sic}, a mirrored necromantic enclosure designed to "communicate with the dead", which in most cases, are the reflections of the darkside of the mind.

A suggestion is made, no matter how outlandish, when placed in an ideal environment, such as a strange location, creates a momentum which takes on a domino effect, each brain unto itself, until others conform in the paranoia. The ersatz story-line follows in the line of the Necronomicon {from whence much of the urban legend was developed}, or what I would call the "satanistic bible" - the folklore, rather than the factualities of actual Satanic philosophy.

A notable inconsistency was demonstrated during the "mental-endurance test" portion of the dares - namely, the erronious mentioning that we practice this. Not true. The very mention of C/S during this presentation opens up a whole Pandora's Box of manipulative possibilities, similar to the effect Columbine had upon those who wear black trench coats. These types of presentations increase fear in the populace, which is always empowering.

Prole: "Do you guys practice this stuff like I saw on Fear?" {raping & sacrificing virgins, etc.}

Satanist: "No, of course not." Would come the undefiled response.

But why waste the time & energy explaining what is so blatantly obvious within the pages of The Satanic Bible? The sheeple will always assume the Satanist is lying anyway, so why not just have fun with it?

Just keep in mind that the Satanist has become just as much of a horror icon as Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, or Michael Meyers, in the collective subconscious of the herd - the Hollywood portrayals, the devil-worship variety of hooded figures gathering 'round a balefire chopping up babies, goats, virgins, & cats, & about as present as Bigfoot or the Lochness monster - enigmas, mysteries.

Anton LaVey wrote The Satanic Bible for truly Satanic Individuals, whereas Hollywood wrote the 'satanistic bible' for the masses, with every devil-cult movie, every sensationalistic talk show 'special', & demonic horror-novel.

So just use these portrayals upon the ignorantly stubborn & weak-minded, to enchant & terrify, while knowing & feeling the truth all along. To those who wish to know the truth {if they can handle it}, Satanic philosophy will educate & edify. To those determined to preserve their eustress-filled presumptions, the fantasies will continue to sustain them, psychic vampires that they are, in their own created lies, as ignorance is indeed bliss for the lower man, upon which they masochistically imbibe.

HAIL SATAN.

This DVD is great. It has all of the dare that the people could really feel the spirits. it had the people that did the dare talk about what was going on. It was really cool knowing what was going on in their minds. Over all it is one of the best DVDs I known.
