David Randall may be a schizophrenic, but he's no murderer -- at least that's what he claims. Having served time for two killings he swears not to have committed, Randall is now home, medicated and attempting to start a new life. But that proves difficult when the masked figure he sighted at the scene of the murders is back; a friend is in danger; and everyone seems to believe that he's the real threat in this chiller from Jack Thomas Smith.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot on a shoestring budget in Pennsylvania, the film played festivals under the title 'Disorder' before finding micro-distribution.
The 2006 release landed in a post-'A Beautiful Mind' era still wrestling with how cinema portrays schizophrenia—often as unreliable-narrator device rather than lived experience.
