Freeze Frame
Never Underestimate Radical Vision
Traumatized by his arrest and near conviction for a series of brutal murders, 33-year-old Sean Veil has become a true paranoid. Convinced that sinister figures are determined to set him up, he has spent the last 10 years since his acquittal video-taping his every waking and sleeping moment as insurance against the day they confront him with another crime.
Sean's paranoia forces him to live in a bunker-like basement where he ventures out only when armed with a set of video cameras attached to his body. Despite all of his precautions, the police suspect him of a new murder and the one tape that could prove his innocence is missing. As the accusations pile on, paranoia becomes reality as a shocking twist leaves him fighting for his life.

Video killed the Radio Star - Pantagruel
This movie is worth your consideration for the following reasons: 1) it has an unlikable wimp as its protagonist, whose weakness alone makes for interesting watching. 2) there is a wonderful complexity of plot that keeps you wondering about the nature of experience and memory. 3) the film is wonderfully shot and edited. 4) it's always great to enjoy actors you may not have ever seen before. All in all, this film delivers a fairly unique take on the standard whodunnit. I give it five stars based on this ingenuity alone, though it will remind viewers of Seven, Saw, and other films with deceptive endings (notice that I avoid saying "trick" endings). In this film, deception is the key - the question is, why are we as a society always so willing to help with the task of deceiving?
