Paranoid

Saw this movie, had more fun when I broke my leg! This movie plain sucks - horrific acting, horrific directing, so many fatal mistakes you should think this movie was done by a bunch of school students. A complete waste of time and then some.

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 !

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

I'm a huge fan of the slasher movies of the 80's and the cover for "Paranoid" looked great so I put down my $6.50 to rent it. Overall the movie was fairly poor. The acting was bad, the dialogue was abysmal, however the killer's mask was really cool. The beginning titles were great for such a low budget flick and promised quality that ultimately this movie just couldn't deliver. Similar to Scream only made on a miniscule budget. There wasn't enough gore or scares in this movie to let it rise above the average slasher movie. I'd be interested to know if anyone understood the ending.

sniff, sniff...what's that you smell? oh, look. it's a steaming pile of frightmare. this painfully inadequate attempt of a movie is truly terrible. usually, if a movie is really really awful...as bad as "ax 'em" (2002) per say, then i find something redeeming about the fact that it is absurdly lacking any quality that might suggest an iota of professionalism. however, unlike those gems, frightmare had a budget of more that 50 dollars. it has the quality of any made for tv movie (lights, a decent camera, etc), however the acting made me want to poke out my eyes in an oedipal act of anguish. and maybe the fact that it follows the plot to 'scream' so predictably, yet attempts to come off seriously, was what really got under my skin. it simply shouts mediocre louder than any movie i have ever seen.
