Six shorts covering some of the more and less well-known phobias out
there:
-
Monophobia (the fear of being alone): A woman (Debbie
Rochon) has met a younger man (David Maranczik) via a dating site -
and while he senses they're not made for each other from square one,
she can be quite insistant ... even if that means killing him ...
- Podophobia (the fear of feet): When during foreplay her lover
touches her feet, a woman completely freaks out ... and it might have
to do with foot torture she experienced in her childhood.
- Selenophobia (fear of the moon): A woman is afraid of the
full moon. Now why would that be? ... except if she's a ...
- Thanatophobia (fear of death): After a night of heavy
partying, a woman awakes in a cemetary - only "awake" might
not be the exactly right word here ...
- Apehephobia (fear of being touched): A rather lyrical
vignette about a woman (Kelly Rae LeGault) who's pretty much swimming
in a sea of hands growing to hate them touching her.
- Achluophobia (fear of the dark): A woman's terribly afraid of
the dark - so during a blackout one night, she lights every candle in
the house - but who is blowing out all her candles?
Well, how could a webseries like this go wrong (and it didn't of
course): 3 gifted directors let loose on 6 rather less-known phobias.
Sure, it's all done on a budget, but otherwise, the filmmakers seem to
have been given rather free reign in terms of approach and the like - so
Jeremiah Kipp's two films are quite impressive moodpieces with very little
narration, Mike Polizzi is giving a new spin to an age-old genre, and show
mastermind Scott W.Perry is all over the place, with his shorts ranging
from comedy (Monophobia - with Debbie Rochon on her comedic best)
via short story (Thanatophobia) to variation on the slasher formula
(Achluophobia). The outcome is six rather impressive pieces of
(skeletal) genre cinema that ably demonstrate what can be done on a budget
with talented and creative people on both sides of the camera ...
