About This Movie

Paranoia (2025) takes a fresh approach to the found footage genre, blending elements of drama and horror with an unsettling atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build as a group of friends documents their chilling hiking trip, drawn in by the dark history of murders around an isolated cabin. The forest becomes a character in itself, with its oppressive silence and lurking shadows. Practical effects are used sparingly yet effectively, enhancing the dread without overshadowing the subtle performances. There’s a raw, almost visceral quality to the interactions among the friends, which adds layers to the narrative. It’s not just about what’s lurking in the trees; it’s also about how fear can unravel relationships.
