This is one of my favorite short films, mainly due to the way it was made, the look of it, filming techniques. It's just very well-made, and really puts you into this paranoid woman's world. I'm hosting this myself so this is a limited time offer! What do you guys think of this movie?

Plot Summary:
A visceral descent into depths of a depraved mind, Paranoid takes the viewer on a dark trail into the roots of insanity where only fragments of reality remain to color the desperate existence of a tortured woman.

"Last night a dark man with no face crawled through nine miles
of sewer to surface in my toilet, listening
for phone calls through the cheap wood
with chrome ears.

I tell you man, I hear." *
Originally appearing as a 100 line poem entitled "Paranoid: A Chant" in Stephen King's 1985 short story collection Skeleton Crew, Paranoid - the film - is a short adaptation done by Los Angeles-based director and cinematographer Jay Holben.

Opening in a dilapidated motel room crouching deep within the seedier parts of an unnamed city, we slowly venture inside to the last refuge of a troubled woman. With the meticulousness that seems to be only afforded to the deeply disturbed, she carefully catalogues each infinite detail of her nightmarish existence in hundreds of composition notebooks as waitresses replace salt with arsenic, old ladies place electronic suction cups on their floor upstairs to send out rays through light fixtures and They send puppies with radio cobwebs in their noses to keep track of her. Everywhere she turns there is another ominous shadow following, listening.

We can only watch helplessly as a besieged soul desperately cries out for help. We can witness the strengths of her deprived delusions and wonder - what was that sound outside?

They are out there, you know.

Listening. Watching. Waiting.

It's only a matter of time before They pounce and when they do - will you be ready?

Did you remember to lock the door?

interesting Short, but the acting is a bit...... bad or not right.... anyway thanks for the short film

the last really funny short i have seen was ChubbsChubbs and i think it even won the Oscar

I enjoyed the short film because of its cinematography. But the cinematography and editing techniques weren't really original as I have seen it before in many other movies like "House on Haunted Hill" with the subliminal images and frame jumps and white flashes... I second Tisoy's opinion on the acting. It could have been somewhat improved... Her emotions were repetitive and didn't really seem human enough... Overall, it was a solid short film with great cinematography and a great setting. ChubbChubbs was indeed an awesome short flick and is definitely worthy of the oscar that it received last sunday.
