Phobic

MENTAL ILLNESS TAKES THREE STEPS BACKWARDS
Here's what PHOBIC is about (basically): A young man witnesses the brutal murder of his sixteen year old sister by a maniacal serial killer. They had just come home from the grocery store, and he is supposed to help her in with the bags, but he's so excited about seeing a "big football game" he runs in leaving her outside in broad daylight where said killer confronts her and stabs her. He runs out and sees him, runs back in the house and locks the door. The killer ominously says, if you ever come back out, I will get you too. So he conveniently develops agoraphobia and won't go out of the house at all. He has on-line therapy sessions with a doctor, and he keeps having awful nightmares about his sister's murder. They capture said killer but Joey doesn't think he's the right one, that the real killer is still after him. In the finale, he confronts his fears and the serial killer in a tangled web of psychobabble nonsense.

Now, this is one bad movie. Billy Parish as...

A Trainwreck!!!
Let me keep this review short and sweet: This has to be the worse movie I ever seen in all my life of watching movies.

I can't even go out of my way to call this one a camp, B-picture. That is how ghastly this film is.

The storytelling is awful. The cast is forgettable. The directing and lighting is abysmal.

I have no idea why a credible studio would spend a nickle getting this film made.

Thank goodness when I got this movie at Gamestop in 2007, I only spent $2-bucks and it skipped in between a few scenes (which I didn't care because I couldn't wait til it was over).

Buy this movie at your own risk.

A psychological al horror or thriller film
After witnessing his sister's murder escaping inside a locked house,
the young hero has trouble leaving his house.
He is being treated by an online doctor that he has never met face to face.
The killer is still waiting, stocking him...
When will the sudden death strike?
The acting is minimal and the plot is not all that original,
the best thing about this movie may be the photography ( camera angles
and close ups) or picture quality, which is better than in most B films of this type. Not a picture for the faint of heart as there is a lot of violence, remembered violence and blood.
