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

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.

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.
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.

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.
