WHAT REALLY FRIGHTENS YOU

Cinemavixion Review

Richard W. Haines' 2009 independent horror film, "WHAT REALLY FRIGHTENS YOU," delves into the unsettling premise of primal fears manifesting into deadly reality. The narrative follows a writer for a monster fanzine who interviews three New Yorkers about their deepest anxieties. As the article is published, their confessed fears begin to materialize, plunging them into a terrifying fight for survival. While the film may not boast mainstream recognition or high-budget polish, its straightforward exploration of phobias and their consequences offers a chilling, albeit low-fi, descent into psychological terror. With a runtime of approximately 74 minutes, it presents a concise, direct approach to horror, making it a curious find for fans of creature features and suspenseful tales that prey on the audience's own latent anxieties.
