Phobie

When I stumbled upon this 1980 movie titled "Phobia", of course I opted to sit down and watch it, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen.

Writers Lew Lehman, Jimmy Sangster, Peter Bellwood, Gary Sherman, Ronald Shusett, Gladys Hill, Dan O'Bannon and Larry Spiegel put together a script that wasn't all that entertaining or interesting. I am a bit perplexed how so many writers collectively could manage to deliver a script that weak.

I have to admit that I was expecting a bit more from the movie, as it was listed as a thriller/horror, but this proved to be more of a thriller drama with crime elements. So it was quite different from what I was expecting.

Of the entire cast ensemble, I was only familiar with actor Kenneth Welsh. The acting performances in the movie were good.

I found "Phobia" to be a somewhat bland and boring movie, and it didn't really appeal much to my liking in movies.

My rating of director John Huston's 1980 movie lands on a three out of ten stars.
