suspicion and paranoia

Master of psychological suspense who repeatedly explored ordinary people caught in webs of doubt, mistrust, and paranoid circumstances.

Specializes in claustrophobic narratives where protagonists spiral into paranoia, most notably in Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby.

Creates morally ambiguous thrillers that examine paranoia in modern contexts, with unreliable narrators and hidden motivations driving films like Zodiac and Gone Girl.
