Paranoid

Synopsis

Chloe (Jessica Alba), a rising young fashion model, is anxious for a break from her hectic schedule and a series of unexplained, anonymous phonecalls.





When her new boyfriend invites her to spend a weekend in the country with his former band members she jumps at the chance. The quiet weekend away rapidly degenerates following the unexpected arrival of Ned's wife, and Chloe is left stranded in a remote mansion owned by the enigmatic Stan (Iain Glen), his partner Rachel (Jeanee Tripplehorn) and younger brother Gordon (Ewen Bremner).





Waking in the middle of the night in a strange bed, unsure whether she has been drugged, her worst fears are confirmed when she discovers a videotape. Trapped, miles from anywhere, Chloe finds the people she fears most become her allies, whilst those she trusts are the most dangerous of all.





A classic Hitchcockian psychological thriller with a very contemporary twist.
