Freeze Frame is a psychological thriller-mystery film written and directed by John Simpson.
The film follows the story of Sean Veil (Evans), who becomes paranoid that there is a conspiracy against him after he is accused of a triple murder.
Veil shows detectives Emeric (who is dying of lung cancer) and Mountjoy the many tapes he has made.
Waking up, Veil finds Carter raping him in order to frame him; she destroys his tapes afterwards.
Before the film ends, Veil makes a list of things to remember: whom to trust, how to be careful, how to be a step ahead, and how to prove one's innocence.
The film was shot in Crumlin Road Jail in Belfast, Northern Ireland[5] on a budget of $2,000,000.
Debbie Wiseman's score, cinematographer Mark Garrett's choice of cameras and lenses and Simon Thorne's "sharp editing" were also mentioned.
[9] Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Freeze Frame is a "stylish and dystopian allegory concerned with Orwellian surveillance and intrusive government".
[10] Neil Smith of the BBC wrote that the film "starts off stylish and ingenious but becomes a disappointing hodgepodge of risible overacting and transparent plotting".
