Because Trick R’ Treat did not quite live up to my expectations, I’ve decided some films could benefit from a more modest word of mouth. A film like Phobia 2, for example. There was some buzz surrounding this film after it was shown at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con and this year’s FanTasia Film Festival. But not the kind surrounding flicks like REC, Paranormal Activity or even Trick R’ Treat. But from what I read, it was enough to peak my interest. Apparently, Phobia 2 is the sequel to a film ingeniously called 4BIA (as in “Four-bia” since the original contained four segments). There is no framing device. Basically five short films comprise one movie. And each segment is directed by a notable, genre director from Thailand.
