Line 8: Mark Bishop is not having a good night, and his wife leaving him isn't even the half of it. A serial killer is on the prowl, each murder different from the last, and Mark has just killed an intruder who attacked him in his home. Unsure if the man is the killer or not, Mark just wants to keep the attention off of himself. Dumping the body and avoiding the authorities, after a while he isn't sure what he's running from. Maybe it's just his own paranoia getting to him. Paranoia is a 2011 film directed by Ryan Mitchelle, written and starring Brad Jones of [[~~The Cinema Snob (Web Video)\|~~The Cinema Snob]] fame. A psychological thriller with horror and mystery elements, the indie movie has all the makings of a cult hit behind it. At least, it certainly has a [[That Guy With ~~the~~The Glasses\|substantial fanbase]] to get it kicked off. Jones has said that he drew inspiration for the screen play from David Lynch, Wes Anderson and Alfred Hitchcock. An alternate cut of the film, in black and white and closer to Jones's original script, can be viewed for free [https://web.archive.org/web/20131022135645/http://blip.tv/the-cinema-snob/paranoia-the-writer-s-cut-5769760 here]. Given the films nature as a psychological thriller, MANY of the tropes below are chock full of spoilers. At this time, they are marked. Proceed with caution. Line 31: * {{spoiler\|[[The Killer in Me]]}} * [[Mind Rape]]: Shown in the trailer, though the details of said mind rape are somewhat longer. * [[Once More, ~~With~~with Clarity]]: {{spoiler\|Eventually, Carl finally lays it all out, explaining that none of the events of the night are real, they're just Mark's soul in Hell, trying out a different combination to try and get through. Despite getting to see the scenes as they really took place, Carl sure likes talking in circles.}} * [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: Despite passing out twice, Carl isn't really bleeding all that badly. * [[Serial Killer]]: At the beginning of the movie, Mark turns on the TV to hear a series of news broadcasts about one in the local area, and it's a topic of discussion with several people he meets. {{spoiler\|it turns out Mark is the serial killer, reliving his experiences in Hell}} * [[Shout -Out]]: The movie's plot is very much like {{spoiler\|[[Lost Highway]]}} * [[Tomato in ~~The~~the Mirror]]: {{spoiler\|"You're the killer, Mark}} * {{spoiler\|[[Villain Protagonist]]: Mark is a dead serial killer}} * [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: Tragically so.
