Monophobia

25-year-old Thomas Neville suffers from monophobia, the fear of being alone, brought about by a childhood trauma. To treat his monophobia, Thomas and his psychiatrist, Dr. Ramon Medeiros, rent a home and begin exposure therapy. When a malevolent entity latches onto Thomas, Thomas must not only convince Dr. Medeiros that the entity is real but must also persuade Dr. Medeiros to help him expel the entity.

Directed by Gregory Voigt, Monophobia leans on a strong ensemble — Federico Castelluccio, Anna DeRusso, Ben Taylor — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2023.
