Sean Veil is an ultra paranoid murder suspect who takes to filming himself round the clock to provide an alibi, just in case he's ever accused of another crime. Problems arise however when the police do come calling and the one tape that can prove his innocence has mysteriously disappeared.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

While the clammy character is difficult to warm up to, Evans' riveting performance gradually and uncomfortably allows us to empathize.

Variety by David Rooney

Signals a talented newcomer in writer-director John Simpson and boasts a gripping central performance from popular British comedian Lee Evans.

L.A. Weekly by Ella Taylor

This nastily efficient thriller from British newcomer John Simpson offers a low-budget, high-tech expression of the idea that just because you're paranoid doesn' mean they'e not after you.

The A.V. Club by Scott Tobias

Compelling as it sounds, the idea behind Freeze Frame doesn't make any sense, especially when realized in practical terms.

50

The Hollywood Reporter by Sheri Linden

Repetitive and ultimately a victim of its own hysteria, the U.K. indie is nonetheless an impressive exercise in high-tech gothic style, with a convincingly deranged Lee Evans.
