Phobia makes for a nerve-wracking ride. It sucks you into the world of artiste Mehak (Radhika Apte) who suffers from an anxiety disorder called agoraphobia, following a sexual assault by a cab driver. In a nutshell all the usual claptraps of a horror film. It is peopled by a black cat, the ghost of a dead woman and apparitions and spirits rising up from a bath tub. Even as her sister debates if Mehak needs institutional care her close friend Shaan (Satyadeep Mishra) relocates her to a friend’s strange, artistically run down house.
