Audience Member Una película predecible que a pesar de ello, logra mantener al espectador atento con tal de ver cómo terminará. Es un guión simpático y el debut de Tyler Cole cómo director deja buen sabor de boca con su estilizada manera de filmara pesar de su limitado presupuesto. Es una comedia romántica que sigue todos los estándares del género pero que maneja de buena manera tales herramientas para evitar ser redundante, aburrida y un estereotipo más, con sus tintes de horror que creo, enmarcan de buena manera el estilo americano de ligar. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Not at all what I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised! I was expecting a horror movie. This was not a horror movie at all (though, there are some gruesome images). Philophobia: or the fear of falling in love, far surpassed my expectations! This movie somehow manages to show complexity with very minimal effort. I feel like the lead character, Damien (portrayed by Aaron Burt), is to thank for that. It gets deep without you realizing how deep it is going and without it ever feeling too deep while sprinkled with moments that make you laugh. The result is a chaotic look into a side of dating and breakups that is rarely shown on screen. We are all so use to seeing a woman's triumph or struggle to get through a breakup after a woman is dating a commitment phobic man. We all even joke about it. This was a genuine look at the other side... the male side. It is more than just dealing with a breakup, because the main character struggles to come face to face with something inside of him. The subject, as the title suggests, is the fear of falling in love. Damien's fear isn't manifested in the common way that most people think of it, but shows a true phobia. Part of you will want to smack Damien, part will want to hug him and part will want to shake him, another part might even want to kick him really hard in the butt... somehow, all of you still loves him. Watch it. You won't be disappointed. Well, I mean, you might have bad taste, so I could be wrong. Luckily, I have excellent taste, so I loved it!

It moves pretty seamlessly and strikes a real chord at the end, even though you know it's coming. It's comforting that way. Lots of fun. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Disconnected. Illogical. Poor acting. Waste of time. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Two stars is probably being generous for this steaming heap o' crud. It's clear there were not 'top critics' who reviewed this one on RT, as no self-respecting critic could give this a truly positive review, imo. I get (sorta) what they were trying for, but for me it comes off as really cornball, unfunny, not in the least 'horrific' ( well, maybe horrifically bad) hack work. I give the those involved credit for setting and largely maintaining the tone of the film. But poor acting, a disjointed story line, too many unnecessary characters all went into making this an unfortunate pot of botulism.
