I was expecting a horror movie. This was not a horror movie at all (though, there are some gruesome images). Photophobia: 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. 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!

Clever story, excellent acting, lots of laugh out loud moments!

I nearly turned this off, but I'm glad I didn't. It's worth viewing and gets better as it goes on. A solid 7

As someone who appreciates new films, this was a fantastic movie. Acting was on point and the director did a great job!

A film you wouldn't even know how to label, it's not drama nor comedy, just a bad acted nonsense. Total waste of time, avoid.

The heart and soul put into this film is evident from the first frame. I love the script, acting, direction, and music. Aaron Burt and Tyler Cole are a great team. Tis movie is proof that you don't need a big budget to tell a bi story. In a film business filled with re-makes, re-boots, and re-hashes, Cole and Burt made an original film that succeeds on many levels.

Clever story, excellent acting, lots of laugh out loud moments!
