A Taste of Phobia

A horror anthology in the style of the ABCs of Horror which is full of gross out moments and gore but done at a funereal pace. With some proper pacing this would probably be 45 minutes tops. Everything in this just drags on and on heading to an outcome you know is going to happen and you get incredibly bored waiting for it. These are pretty small concept short films but you need to make it to feature length so everything moves at a glacial pace. The short length of the features, which is too long for the subject matter, is also too short for any kind of personality to form for most of them so you are stuck with flat characters doing flat things in a very flat movie. Some of the topics are designed for gross out experiences that would make Troma proud but done with no energy at all. Troma does this kind of gross out horror with frenetic energy but this just moves along with all the excitement of a sloth on Ambien going to the DMV. That is unfair to the sloth, at least he'd have a smile on his face.
