Ill see your Psycho, and raise you a Jacob's Ladder.

Okay, good answers. Of course I was going to say The Thing for obvious reasons. Brain Dead (not PJ's film) b/c the whole movie is a study of paranoia. And Maniac Cop. Why Maniac Cop you ask? Because of the media-induced paranoia. The news tells everyone that a rogue cop is on the loose and an innocent cop gets his head blown off by a little old lady. What an influence the media have.

Jacob's Ladder was bad ass - I haven't seen that in SOOO long.

Paranoia Paranoia blah blah someone's coming to get me, just say you never met me, something about living underground with the moles, digging holes...

HERE IS THE ULTIMATE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!


ROSEMARY'S BABY!

I posted about the paranoia in Rosemary's Baby in the classics forum. I forgot to add it on here.

um........
 

well the thing was good and so was phsyco but, in every horror movie isnt someone always out to get someone else? might just be me but thats how i see it. but im also a young horror fan and im not too sure on what is going on in the killers mind! but im almost there.....

Just came to me...Invasion of the Body Snatchers...Anyone else see the remake?

Re: um........
 

Not exactly. I'm talking about an extreme distrust of others, mostly irrational.

Cabin Fever should have played more with this element.

I was wondering if anyone was going to say that. I have to say the original is a paranoia classic b/c it came out around the time of the Communist scare in the U.S.

I just recently saw Rosemary's Baby because of someone's posting on the forum. (I know, I love horror but have NEVER seen Rosemary's Baby...bad me.) Very impressive. I can see why it's a classic. Loved everything about it--the time it's set in, the actors, the whole thing.

I just watched that about a week ago.

"duel"
"battle royale"
"ravenous"

Well they're not Horror flicks but I just watched these movies for the second and third time and they twisted my mind..... Vanilla Sky... Identity...A Beautiful Mind....definatly twisted me...:rolleyes:

i know when you guys read this you will sit at your computer in shock.........and then you'll hound me for it with the exception of psycho, ive never heard of any of these movies and ive never seen psycho........i know i know i know bad me.:(

are these movies anygood? if they are ill rent em and watch em

Most of the films mentioned in this thread are worth watching.

Heh
 

The Shining. Jack Nicholson pulls off Jack Torrence's mounting paranoia that his wife and son are out to get him.

I have another one on the tip of my tongue, but I cannot seem to get it.

DUDE! MANIAC COP! that is hilarious! i had no idea that anyone besides me had ever seen that. haha!
