High Anxiety

  • Log in or register to post comments

With a hilarious nod to suspense cinema and Alfred Hitchcock's films, the story follows a psychiatrist named Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke, who, due to his inexperience, finds himself caught in a series of absurd and terrifying situations at the prestigious Sanatorium Mental Health Center. Upon arriving at his new position, he is surrounded by eccentric characters, including a hypersensitive receptionist and a mysterious director who seems to have his own dark secrets.

As Dr. Thorndyke attempts to acclimate to his surroundings, he begins to experience growing anxiety that complicates his daily work. Soon, he becomes embroiled in a chilling mystery when his colleagues start disappearing mysteriously, and he becomes the prime suspect. With the help of a young patient who has her own issues, they work together to uncover the truth and clear his name before chaos completely unravels.

This journey is filled with laughter, tension, and moments of pure madness, paying homage to the most iconic elements of suspense cinema. Following the pace of a frenetic comedy, the situations become increasingly ridiculous, causing both the protagonist and the audience to question what is real and what is imagination. A dark satire that blends laughs and nerves, leaving everyone in the room wondering: is this a case of madness or simply high anxiety?
