Creepy & scary
The library that Alfred Hitchcock would envy. Really good and creepy violin riffs. Almost impossible to create these articulations in your standard plugin. Excellent and useful—keep it up.

Well worth the price
I got this pack for my psychological horror podcast and it's definitely well worth the price! The construction kits are useful. The loops are well designed and very atmospheric. The processed and unprocessed oneshots give you the freedom to do with what you please. Definitely recommend this pack for anyone looking for cello, viola or violin fx!

Perfect Pack for Horror Films
Sound quality is fantastic. They've got the classic horror movie string scratches/plucks/scrapes that I can't replicate with MIDI strings. Lots of variety and options. There's some full score pieces too if you need that too. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Definitely recommended.

Prickly, Great Sounds
Great for adding a bit of prickly nuance to my background soundscapes (I've layered pieces of Phobia's offerings into my arrangements built from other sample kits). I've enjoyed using this pack with my video projects. Very happy with the sound quality!

Useful Enough
There's quite a lot of unique string sounds / loops that I've used for rhythmic trailer / horror vibe. But they also have simple one shot staccato sounds. As someone who has a string library with staccato on it, these sounds probably won't be used. But if you don't have a good String VST sounds, this can work for you. I just wish there's more of those percussive, gritty, unique string sounds that VSTs don't have.
