Dr. Peter Ross (Paul Michael Glaser), a psychiatrist, introduces a radical new therapy which he tests on 5 of his patients to cure them of their various phobias (heights, crowded places, enclosed spaces, men and snakes). However his patients start being murdered by an unknown assailant, using methods relating to their own individual phobias.
Los Angeles Times film critic Kevin Thomas described Phobia as "the worst film ever directed by a winner of the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award."[3]
Reginald H. Morris received a Genie Award nomination for Best Cinematography at the 2nd Genie Awards in 1981.[4]
