Review of Phobias

Phobias (2021)
6/10
Not the best and not the worst anthology
24 June 2021
I learned some new phobias today.

An anthology movie on Hulu. Five patients who suffered from different phobias were put into the test from a crazed doctor.

So that's the given synopsis of the movie. That's basically a spoiler of the overall arc of movie. What the heck?

Apparently the synopsis said these people suffered from phobias. Um not all of them did. Each time the patients were tested, we were taken back to their past. The first three were pretty mediocre, and the first one had a fire effect that was so horrible and fake. The last two was more sinister and interesting, especially the last one.

The movie maintained suspense mostly by having nonstop and a variety of background suspenseful sounds. Even though they often worked, sometimes they felt excessive and overused.

The overarching story was pretty laughable. It was stupid because it could have ended much earlier. There should be more effort into making the main story more competent.

Overall, not the best or the worst anthology, but it was pretty decent and entertaining. 6/10.
