Review of Phobias

Phobias (2021)
6/10
Simple and atmospheric, not bad.
14 May 2021
This movie is simple, but I wouldn't really call it bad. Not sure about all these negative reviews. I came in with no expectation and I actually got something out of it. I liked how it just consisted of few shorter stories put together.

It doesn't really go deep into details and doesn't bother to explain much, and I actually liked this. Because, you know, if it was Netflix, they would've made five movies out of this one. One per each story, and they would've filled them all 80% with soap opera and some excess drama. That would be terrible.

It hasn't felt like it had any unnecessary drama or meaningless dialogues. Here it was all just enough to put together the stories and not waste my time. That I appreciate.

It's obviously a niche movie and a low budget one, but I didn't expect much else, when I came into this, so I'm satisfied with what I've got. I believe it is actually quite atmospheric, these disorders and events feel real, some of this could totally happen in real life.

I also have felt some 'Black Mirror' vibes throughout it, which is nice.
