But then all's forgiven as it is after long that one watched a 'horror' film which really makes one scared, instead of being disgusted or amused

In the end, Phobia is an unnerving movie that plays skillfully on the fear of the unknown.

Another factor that may affect the film is the low key promotion of the film due to which many people aren't aware of PHOBIA's release. But for them who have an appetite for the unconventional thrills and psychological mind games, don't miss PHOBIA.
