Burned (2015)

In the nerve-jangling thriller, Burned (2015), protagonist Jason is ensnared in a web of paranoia and mistrust, holed up in a nondescript motel room, too terrified to step outside. His only solace in this fearful solitude is his girlfriend, Lila, a beacon of trust in a world where suspicion gnaws at his sanity. When Lila persuades him to venture out into the barren desert to meet a friend at a secluded house, Jason's dread escalates. Their arrival is tainted with tension as an unanticipated guest, armed with a barrage of inquisitive questions, throws a wrench into their plans. With each intrusive question, Jason's paranoia amplifies, the seeds of doubt begin to sprout, and his unwavering trust in Lila starts to crumble. As Jason grapples with his spiralling anxiety, he becomes increasingly convinced of a sinister setup. The film, Burned, is a riveting exploration of fear and betrayal, where nothing is as it seems and trust is as elusive as a mirage in the desert.
