Agoraphobia

I loved it! It was a nice watch on a lazy Sunday. If you like Horror and Thriller/Suspense movies and also enjoy the Lifetime Movie Channel, you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Another movie by Lou Simon who at present time does not have the best record with me, her movies have been less than impressive.

Agoraphobia tells the story of a young woman suffering from *Drumroll* agoraphobia who moves into her newly inherited home but begins to question whether she's alone.

Starring Cassandra Scerbo who I will always just see as that girl from the Sharknado films who shows her cleavage a lot. Also we have the horror legend that is Tony Todd, though his presence is sadly minimal.

The majority of the film is highly generic and very uninteresting. It's not until the end when the film delivers a twist and steps up its game, but by that point it's a tad too late.

The finale saved Agoraphobia from sheer mediocrity and though it's still nothing special it's a harmless enough 84 minutes for fans of the genre.

The Good:

Tony Todd

Maria Olsen for the first time ever

Nice twist

The Bad:

Tony Todd felt wasted

Highly cliched for the most part

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Can we have a horror movie where the family doesn't have pets please? We all know how that works out

Predictable, slow going with a feeling like an amateur production where the cast feels unsure of their lines as very rigid and not sure of the direction. Struggling to find any positives other than the end, but if you have absolutely nothing else to do and have 1hr 25mins to waste go for it. Also not sure why rated as 🔞 because not even a 13.

An agoraphobic woman inherits her father's house only to find it haunted. Everyone thinks she's seeing things and that her condition is getting worse but something is there trying to tell her something.

This thing sucked. Tony Todd played the doctor who had very little screen time and Maria Olsen had a brief appearance as well. What made this so awful was Cassandra Scerbo's performance. She wasn't convincing at all and you laugh when she tries to look upset. Even if she did a better job the script would still suck.

There is a cheesy little twist but by that point you don't even care about the movie anymore.

This movie is a complete ripoff from one of the Outer Limits episodes. But the execution is quite alright, so it worked OK in the end.

After so many indie projects, here comes this one, with an old premise, some B class acting, B type actors and some mystery involved. The death scenes are laughable, the story doesn't always make lots of sense and the reaction from the characters are truly amusing. It is clear that the budget did not help this movie, except maybe to get Tony Todd involved.

It's just another horror like so many seen before, regarding the plot, the way it was made, shows that it couldn't pass its own boundaries.

Cheers!
