Theme: Paranoia

Paranoia is a fear-filled state of mind where someone believes that the world is conspiring against them. Paranoia is listed as a psychological disorder by the American DSM. That said, most people at one point or another experience varying degrees of paranoia without it being pathological. These can range from full-on belief in conspiracy theories and alien lizard people to merely that a partner or co-worker may be up to something. Usually when we talk about paranoia, we refer to people fearing things happening based only on tenuous suppositions or slim imaginings.

What we are concerned with here is paranoid mood. That is to say, the sense created in a film that something is going on around the protagonist(s). This can range from conspiracies by the government or secret organisations, that aliens are stealing people’s bodies, that neighbours might be Satanists, serial killers or up to some form of no good, of alien abductions, medical experiments being conducted on people, of lurking monsters, that They (the government, the military, scientists, the medical establishment, alien lizard people, corporations, forces of conformity etc) might be out to get you. Or even that what you suspect about reality itself may be in question.

Some themes by their very nature lend themselves to paranoia – Body Snatchers, Secret Societies, Conceptual Reversal Twists and of course Conspiracy Theories. The tone of most paranoia films sit in an edgy state of mind where a person’s belief about the world around them may be an illusion that is abruptly peeled back to reveal something far more sinister. The paranoia will be evoked in terms of uncertainty and will often have a perfectly calm and rational alternate explanation that makes it seem that everything is in the protagonist’s mind. Many works of Black Humour also come with a sense of paranoia that is pushed to an hysteric extreme.
