Fragment of Fear (1970) • Discape

Murder in Pompeii. Voices in the night. Despair in the gutter. A phantasmagoria of fright.

Fragment of Fear is a fascinating, convoluted puzzle which asks more questions than it chooses to answer. … Fans of cult Sixties cinema should seek it out, and enjoy this last gasp entry from the counter culture film school.

David Flint, Ten Years of Terror: British Horror Films of the 1970s (FAB Press, 2001)
Fragment of Fear is three-quarters of the way towards being a truly great film. Sadly, the ending—not so much ambiguous as downright encrypted—ruins much good approach play.

Keith Topping, A Vault of Horror (Telos Publishing, 2004)
