Paranoiac

In the shadowed halls of a sprawling family estate, a tragic accident has left the Ashby fortune in limbo. The surviving heirs—Eleanor Ashby, a fragile yet resilient young woman, and her ruthless brother Simon Ashby—find themselves under the watchful eye of Aunt Harriet, the austere matriarch who guardians the will’s stipulations. With the inheritance deadline looming, the siblings’ strained relationship crackles with unspoken tension, each wary of the other’s ambitions.

Into this delicate balance drifts a mysterious stranger who bears an uncanny likeness to the long‑lost elder brother. His sudden arrival unsettles the household, prompting whispered speculation and a growing sense of unease. Eleanor is drawn to him, sensing both comfort and danger, while Simon watches the newcomer with a wary curiosity that hints at hidden motives. The manor’s gloomy corridors and the echoing chapel amplify the atmosphere, turning every glance and footstep into a charged encounter.

The film unfolds as a tightly wound psychological thriller, its tone drenched in gothic dread and relentless suspense. As loyalties blur and secrets linger just beyond the candlelight, the characters navigate a perilous game of perception and manipulation. The estate itself becomes a character, its oppressive elegance reflecting the fragile sanity of those who inhabit it, while the stranger’s presence threatens to upend the already fragile equilibrium between brother, sister, and aunt.
