When a man loses his grip on reality, his mind starts to play games on what is happening all around him. 

For The Believer, Sophie Kargman and Aidan Bristow displayed their acting skills towards this mind-twisting movie. Kargman played the wife that confuses the husband with unusual and untrustworthy actions. While Bristow played the paranoid husband perfectly, who was deteriorating rather quickly both mentally and physically. 

Also, Billy Zane starred as a therapist in that tries to help the husband mentally. Shan Serafin wrote and directed the movie.
