Console best movie i've ever seen.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

lewiskendell An anthology is the sum of its parts, so how does this particular set stack up?Novice: A young man with a troubled past is left to live among monks, where karma catches up to him. Interesting idea, but lacking in execution and a bit boring until the end. (5/10)Ward: An injured teenager spends the night in a hospital room with a brain dead old man on a respirator who is slated to be taken off life support the next day. Spooky and violent, with a twist ending. (7/10)Backpackers: My favorite of the bunch. Two young hitchhikers are picked up by two truckers with cargo more dangerous than any of them know. I'd love to see a full movie made from this one. (9/10)Salvage: A dishonest car saleswoman had a terrifying night when one of her vehicles is returned by an angry customer and her own son disappears. A gruesome little ghost story, once again featuring karma as a main theme. (8/10)In the End: A funny and subversive tale about the filming of one of those "spooky long-haired ghost girl" horror films that had been coming out of the east so frequently in the last 10+ years. (8.5/10)Phobia 2 gets off to a rocky start, but overall it's an entertaining and varied mix of Thai horror.

ll_mei_li What I like about this sequel is that it was not the typical heavy, depressing Thai horror film unlike the others. Though there are several endings which are not really favorable for the protagonist, some parts of it contains comic scenes which lightens up the vibe. There was one episode though that I found a bit too exaggerated, especially in terms of the Special Effects, good thing the gore and the morbidity saved it.:) Another thing is that, unlike the first installment, the movie was not at all about the title, if I was the producer of the film, i would name it "KARMA" :) I like how the movie portrayed that your actions may affect the future and how your wrong doings may get back to you someday. It is like a modern horror version of a tale with a moral lesson. Criminals and bad people should totally watch this film. :) You could really see the regret in the eyes of the featured character. I also enjoyed the suspense and the make up of the monsters in this film. It was worth watching though, I recommended it to my friends and when they watched it, they also recommended it to their friends and they actually liked it and would give it a score of 10.

supadude2004 Direction was very polished, first rate even. But that's where any attempt at greatness departs. The problem with every segment of the five short horror movies, was... in every single case, and without exception: screenplay. Hackneyed shock noises and age old visual jolts are used to move the seen it all before "horror" along to stories that are so fast-forwardable - my remote control (when called for) simply couldn't get through this effort fast enough. Admittedly, I did attempt to watch the whole thing without fast forwarding, but tedium was stretched ad infinitum. Overall Phobia 2 (i.e., "Trang 5") was as just as forgettable as any average movie usually is. Shame, though that the direction, cinematography and production were all first rate. But a movie needs a good scare story and not just the same old shocks (yawn) in order to deliver.In conclusion, this was a perfectly forgettable movie which should not be watched by those with more than half a functioning brain.

chrichtonsworld The problem with anthology movies is that the quality of each individual story differs from the other and therefore makes it real difficult to grade the overall experience. But i will try. The first thing I noticed that there isn't a real connection between the individual stories. Other than the prominent role given to cars. This movie could have made more impact had there been a cleverer connection. Phobia 2 is very visual and doesn't rely too much on dialog. Which is very smart since this way it will appeal to a large (international) audience. Most movies were creepy and had decent buildups. There are some sequences however that didn't work for me. I got the impression whenever a scene failed to deliver on tension and suspense they replaced it with gore. Which had the complete opposite effect on me of what was intended. From the five stories there are two that stand out. These are "Backpackers" and "In the end". This last story is absolutely hilarious and scary at the same time. It is full with twists and turns that will creep you out and will make you laugh. This story alone is the reason to watch Phobia 2. To be honest (apart from some scenes) I didn't find it really scary. Stories like "Novice" and "Salvage" weren't compelling enough. And too often the loud background music announced the scares which ruined most of the surprise. Overall however I enjoyed this movie. Just don't expect too much.
