Paranoïd

Why is it that whenever a relatively knew Director gets an idea for a film, they feel the need to rush it thru like their life depends on it. Everything was there in Paranoid. plot twists guessing games shocks and thrills. but a little more attention should have been given to introducing the elements of the film, rather than ramming them down the throat. The cast obviously was suffering from the age old problem of Dude i am in a film if i over act it will compensate for the lack of script. I wish that films like this were given the chance to develop their ideas. on a lighter note did anyone else notice that the anchor woman in the beginning was unable to get a single sentence right, and when the illegal rave flyers were being handed out, how many times did they need to shoot the same scene as the flyers in their hands changed colour more times than traffic light on speed. As far as the ending goes , hey it ended what more do you want. i hope that the team behind it keep going and dont give up , just take more time people it is worth it

The acting was half good and half bad, some of the actors did a good job while others were horrid. The main characters who are supposed to be seniors in high school all looked and acted like mid-20's college preps. The plot is really lame and unbelievable. The dialogue sounds fake most of the time. This is pretty bad even for a low budget slasher "teen" flick. Don't get me wrong, i love tons of them...but this just doesn't make you want to view it again. The ending tried to be interesting, but it failed...badly. While I've seen much worse before i still wouldn't give this movie more than a 2 out of a possible 10.

A very cheap movie made in order to try and capitalize on the success of recent horror movies such as "Scream." The beauty of no budget, independent films are that the makers of such movies are forced to be creative and use their imaginations to make up for the lack of money. This is not the case here. Someone wanted to make money with a small investment, and in return they crapped out "Frightmare." At least Ed Wood loved what he did and, in his mind, tried his best.

I thought this WAS done by high school students, to add to a previous comment, and even then it would still be bad. The acting is horrible, worse than any soap. Plot is stupid, and partially confusing in minor details. Camera work unsteady. Lighting dodgy. Bad acting. Bad acting. Did I mention the really bad acting?

Surprisingly the one saving grace (besides the cute lead actress) is the lack of skill in the murder scenes. Most don't have any horror music, so the only noise you can hear are the victims screams of terror ("No please don't kill me no NO!" etc etc). Done accidentally I'm sure, but very very eerie.

Overall stay away from this horrible p.o.s but... if you are stuck between this and "the return of the Texas chainsaw massacre", I'd still say go for this.... anytime.

3/10

It looks more like a series of moments thrown in without any sense of storytelling. What is the killer's relationship with cockroaches ? Who cares, it looks good ! What it this "article" everybody suddenly mentions ? No idea. Even the title is unappropriated, since there is no peculiar paranoid in this movie.

When revealed in a lame sequence, the "killer" barely has the built of the murderer we saw before. And the incoherent ending scores ten on the "Huh ?" meter. This is not just bad, it's also a cheat.

Rent something else unless you are in the mood for a real bad movie !
