just 'cause you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
to stand up for this film, it is what it is. At the time I was making movies for an Afrikaans producer in South Africa who was catering to the black film market. I made several of those pictures for him and they were successful. He wanted to make an integrated picture so I wrote Paranoia for him. We shot that picture but we didn't have the money to finish the pix and back in l a we found Peacock films who finished and distributed the picture.
The usual pix for that market in SA were 70 minutes long shot in 1 week costing 10 thousand dollars. I shot the pix as Paranoia and Peacock re title it a released it as n action picture. It doesn't work as an action film but then it's not The Manxhurian Cndidate either. Netflix bought the picture, I wish they had bought The King's Messeger.
