Sean Veil's (Lee Evans) tenuous hold on reality is let slip when he becomes obsessed with documenting his life. A loner who would be hard pressed to provide an alibi for any task he carried out, Veil straps cameras all around his person in order to provide any evidence the police may need regarding his activities. As the police hunt hots up, and the finger of fate seems to indicate that Veil is the strongest suspect in the case, he slips further into insanity. The situation gets markedly worse when one of his fastidiously cataloged video tapes appears to go missing. Director John Simpson pulls a thoroughly convincing performance from Evans in this harrowing portrait of a life slowly slipping off the rails, creating a pulse-pounding finale to FREEZE FRAME that is also a damning indictment of the way technology is consuming humankind.

Reviews for Freeze Frame
Sadly, after a promising opening, John Simpson's feature debut dissolves into a disappointing hodgepodge of risible overacting and transparent plotting.
Simpson has a strong idea to work through, a good actor and a great set (a dank Belfast prison) and doesn’t squander them -- even if the influence of Darren Aronofsky's Pi is perhaps a little too tangible.
Simpson and director of photography Mark Garret manage to place the audience well inside the disoriented, dystopian world inhabited by Veil.
