Phobias (2021)

My quick rating - 5.1/10. This pseudo-anthology movie is more about the 5 patients' stories and what led them to be subjects of an experiment. The experiment of using people's "fear" as a tangible weapon. Each story alludes to the phobia the person had that drove them into near insanity. I say "near" since they don't all really pertain to a phobia, but more to circumstances. As with all anthology movies, some stories are better than others. After the actual point of being used as lab rats is finally revealed, it takes a turn downward. The way the story is told doesn't even really allude to the normal nature of an anthology, which is one of the plus points of this. They did try something a bit different in how to get there. Too bad the stories of the individuals weren't a bit better. Average is really where this one falls. The cohesive manner of the individual tales is the highlight here, and for a horror flick, the acting is surprisingly good.
