Wouldn't really classify this as a horror movie, but more of a thriller.
I will try to break this down the best way that I understood it.
We have the central character Johnathan (Leonardo Nam) who wakes up in a government research facility run by a deranged doctor. This doctor induces fears from other young captives pasts in order to draw some type of serum from their brains to create a fear gas.
This part of the anthology is the wrap around story. We learn that the young Korean guys father was help prisoner there years before and he had taken care of him since then, but has developed the ability of pyrokinetic powers.
The 2nd prisoner, we see how she and her boyfriend murdered someone during a robbery and put the man's body in their trunk and after her boyfriend feels guilty and leaves her with the car, the man's spirit terrorizes her from inside the vehicle.
The next patient is forced to relive a night of terror. She is a married school teacher whose husband is away. She messages her married lover and then has to deal with his 3 young vengeful children who break into her home to teach her a bloody lesson. She turns the tables on the three violent youngsters but finds herself the victim instead.
The fourth patient's backstory really wasn't a fear but more of a form of ptsd. She was part of a drug raid that turns ugly with alot of shooting and the death of a innocent child. She begins to experience the trauma which she cannot wake up from and let's it consume her.
Now when the fifth patient played by Macy Gray tells her story, it is a gruesome one. She plays the boss of an architect firm who let's her insecurities get the best of her by trying to be absolutely perfect. This results in her drugging her young coworkers at her home so she can take pieces from them and make herself even more perfect. When she reveals her true body, you see she is nothing more of a Frankenstein creation.
When the movie comes to its conclusion, we learn patient Johnathan is there to seek revenge on the doctor and has the patients help him make an escape. They use the fear gas on the doctors crazed staff and on the doctor himself. The final moment of the movie, you see the fear gas engulfing the doctor in flames which tells us that his fear is of fire. This is sort of symbolic with the main patient seeking revenge since he has pyrokinetic powers which they actually didn't explain where that came from.
Overall it was a decent movie.
