Suspension (2008)

Daniel Bennett (Scott Cordes) survives the car accident that kills his family and, while watching home videos, discovers his camera can freeze time. This concept is vaguely similar to Click, where Adam Sandler has a remote control that he can use on the world, but Suspension goes off in much more interesting and unsettling direction. Click starts off with some mild amusement, before degenerating in to moralising and mediocrity, and becoming unbearable. Suspension starts off slow, focusing on the anguish and despair of Daniel, then picks up pace and intensity as he becomes obsessed with Sarah Kane (Annie Tedesco) the widow of the other driver in the accident. A clever and creepy, low budget film with an unusual premise, impressive effects, and a score by Jed Whedon (Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog).
