One Point O (Paranoia 1.0)
(2004)
Are you infected?
Jeremy Sisto (SIX FEET UNDER) and Deborah Kara Unger (CRASH) star in the moody sci-fi film PARANOIA 1.0. Sisto plays Simon, a computer programmer who wakes up every morning to find a brown package in his apartment, with no idea how it got there. Stranger still, there is never anything inside. He begins to suspect that one of his odd-egg neighbors (Unger and genre mainstays Udo Kier and Lance Henrikson) is behind it, but there seems no way to be sure. Growing increasingly paranoid, Simon begins to wonder if the whole affair is just a byproduct of losing his sanity. The frantic and disturbing nature of the story is balanced by first-time directors Jeff Renfroe and Martienn Thorsson's slow pace, deliberate framing, and handsome cinematography. PARANOIA 1.0 was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
