Phobia 2

It seems after "shutter", there isn't any really good horror thriller. That kind of chilling scare in shutter really inched up your spine and raised your goosebumps. Phobia 2 is a follow up from the previous 4bia, no relation though. Just another 5 short film, different stories but same kind of scare tactics.

First is Novice. Young Pey commited a crime, next scene he was brought to a monastery by his mother. The time coincides with some hungry ghost period and the rebellious pey reluctantly stayed. And there seems to be some tree spirit playing around with his karma, towards the end, it revealed the crime he commited was throwing a stone at a car and somehow was his fathers'. He was stoned to death in the end and seemingly became one of the tree spirit.

Second is Ward. The most straightforward one. A young man injured his legs and was hospitalized and warded into the same room as an dying old man. The old man is going anytime and was ready to unplug the machine but a group of man came by and request to delay for 1 day. Then the scare the audience tactics just came, as he was immobile so he can just lie around and kena scared the shit of himself. But the next morning, we did get the answer of what happen. The old man seems like some master now is in the young man body.

Third is BackPackers. 2 japanese young kids stranded along some road hitchhiked onto a truck, the driver with another young man. As they drive along, suddenly heavy pounding sound was heard from the back. The driver stopped and came down, to his horror, the people he thought he was ferrying all became dead bodies. Then the young man revealed, they are actually human drug traffickers, forced to swallow small packets of drugs. As they dragged the bodies down, the bodies became zombies, the jap kids came down and overheard. The jap guy was zombied to death, the driver quickly drove off. The young man and jap ger ran after the truck, eventually got onto it. The truck crashed and driver died, left the young man and jap ger, somehow another kid, ending was crap though.

Fourth was Salvage. About a unscrupulous used car dealer, selling revamped car that was involved in accidents. Beginning to end was in the used car lot, as she try to search for her son who was playing in the lot. Then all the scare using the cars came, the victims of car accidents visually on and off scaring her but the slight twist in the end was when she drive off in her car.

Last was In the end. This was by the same 4 guys from 4bia, the camping one. This last one was a comedy, not kidding, the audience was laughing like no tomorrow, maybe trying to ease off the scary moments which was little and very within anticipations. They are crew on a movie set, filming a horror movie, plot revolving the 4 guys, main actress and the other actress acting as the ghost. Comedic twists on and off making people think actually she was dead but not, he was dead but not. 6/10
