Freeze Frame (2004 film)

Freeze Frame is a 2004 British psychological thriller film directed by John Simpson. It stars Lee Evans as Sean Veil, a man obsessed with recording every moment of his life on video cameras.

The film centers around Veil, who was acquitted of murder ten years prior due to a lack of evidence. He maintains his innocence and believes the video footage he diligently records will one day exonerate him completely. When his new neighbor is murdered, Veil becomes the prime suspect again.

Detective Sam North, played by Sean Pertwee, is assigned to the case and becomes increasingly convinced of Veil's guilt. The film explores themes of paranoia, surveillance, guilt, and the unreliability of memory. As the investigation progresses, Veil's reality becomes increasingly fragmented, blurring the lines between truth and delusion. He struggles to piece together the events surrounding the murder, fearing he may indeed be responsible despite his proclaimed innocence.

The film's narrative is presented through a combination of Veil's video recordings and standard cinematic techniques, creating a disorienting and subjective viewing experience.
