Plots(1)
In the 1960’s, inspired by the success of Psycho, the legendary Hammer House of Horror produced a number of psychological thrillers scripted by screenwriter Jimmy Sangster. Sangster’s ultimate puzzle picture, Paranoiac!, told the disturbing tale of the Ashby siblings gathering to claim their late parent’s inheritance. The appearance of a long dead brother, a decade after his apparent suicide, unearths a history of obsessive and sadomasochistic relationships... and quite possibly murder! Showcasing an early, explosive performance from Oliver Reed and boasting countless plot twists to keep horror fans guessing until the final frame, Paranoiac! stands proudly as one of Hammer’s darkest and most sinister thrillers.
