Paperman

About This Movie

So, 'Paperman' is this intriguing puzzle of a horror flick. It’s got this unsettling vibe, really plays with noise and silence in a way that gets under your skin. Roger, the neurodivergent screenwriter, is a character you might find relatable—he's really navigating the chaotic waters of creative control while Arthur, the producer, feels like this omnipresent shadow, pushing and pulling on his vision. The pacing’s a bit erratic, which adds to the tension, and the practical effects are impressive; there's this rawness to them that enhances the eerie atmosphere. Performances are solid, with Roger's struggles feeling genuine, and there’s just something about the way the story unfolds that makes it stick with you, even if it’s a bit rough around the edges.
