Paranoia

About This Movie

So, 'Paranoia' (2025) is this intriguing piece in the horror genre that explores the isolation of belief. A young boy, plagued by a monster only he can see, navigates a world where skepticism is the norm. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and you can really feel the weight of his isolation. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build gradually, which adds to the unsettling vibe. The practical effects are a standout—there’s something raw and visceral about them that CGI just can't replicate. Performances are solid, especially from the lead, who captures that mix of fear and determination. There’s a fresh take on the classic ‘no one believes the kid’ trope, making it a distinct entry in contemporary horror.
