Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Well I have the honor to be the first one to rate this the lowest possible. I was going to rate it with two stars but because there are not much reviews for this movie and they are all super positive it clearly falsify the real score it should get. So the lowest possible for me to try to bring the unjustified high score down. About the movie, which features the comedians from the group "Les Nuls", which by the way means The Zeros in French or also referring as very lousy jokes, you have to be a fan of their humor to really like it. It's absurd stupid humor. I think they are inspired by The Monty Python, that are famous for their ridiculous British humor. But the big difference between Les Nuls and The Monty Python is that The Monty Python are geniuses while Les Nuls are just trying to be funny. I don't think I laughed once during the entire movie while with any of The Monty Pyton movies I can't stop laughing. If you really want to watch a funny French comedy than just watch anything from the comedian group "Le Splendid". Just look it up and watch those movies instead because those ones are actually funny.

During the last forty years France has seen at least three comedy ensembles graduate from boulevard theatre or television to the big screen and if Splendid has the best track record in terms of both ensemble films - le pere noel est un ordure, les bronzes - etc plus individual actors - Thierry Thermitte, Josiane Balasko, Gerard Jugnot, michel blanc, ann-marie chazal, actor/writer/director - Balasko, Blanc, Jugnot, this is not to say that the likes of Les Nuls (Alain Chabat) and Les Robins des bois (Marina Fois, Jean-Paul Rouve) were chopped liver. City of Fear marked the big-screen debut of Les Nuls and it turned out to be an auspicious debut in every way. It is, of course, very French so that many of the verbal gags will be lost on non-French speakers who rely on subtitles but against that there are lots of sight gags which are, of course, International. Time will tell if it holds up as well as, say, Le Pere Noel but it certainly works the first time around.

There is a joke every 5 seconds, this is one of the best comedy I'have ever seen. Even thinking at this movie make me laugh. I have seen it 5 times and i still enjoy seeing it. If you can see this movie, see it.my rating : 10

La cité de la peur is a really funny movie. It's funny because of the good acting, the solid script. The scenario itself is a joke. I'm writing this comment in English but could have done it in French, since many gags must be impossible to translate, so you definitely should understand French. This movie shows the particular sense of humour of "Les Nuls", a group of humorists, which I do like. To my mind, it's the best French comedy since "Le père Noël est une ordure", which will make you laugh from start to end.
