ShockTillYouDrop.com has an exclusive interview with artist Charles Burns, creator of the disturbing graphic novel "Black Hole," talking about Fear(s) of the Dark, a French horror anthology film. In the interview, Burns was asked about the big screen Black Hole adaptation:

I think the story is good and that's the most important part of any movie, so you're hoping it gets put together in an interesting way. Initially, Alexandre Aja was the director that was attached to it, and he does great kind of seventies kind of horror, slasher movies which I think are perfectly fine, but I don't know that it's really appropriate for...
