sol ***SPOILERS*** Film about time suspension involving this magical camcorder that can freeze time at the click of it's pause button. How this camcorder got these amazing powers is never really explained it only seemed to have gotten them when it and it's owner Daniel Bennett, Scott Cordes, survived a fatal traffic accident that cost the lives of three people. Daniel's wife teenage son and the driver of the pick-up truck that caused , by running a stop sign, the accident!As things turned out time stopped when Daniel accidentally pressed the pause button on his camcorder just at the moment of impact which in effect saved his life before he was to go head first through the car's windshield. It wasn't until later after repairing the damaged camcorder that Daniel started to realize the amazing power that it possessed. The one thing that Daniel really wanted to possess and soon became obsessed with was the pick-up tucks dead driver's wife Sarah Kane, Annie Tedesco, who's picture just happened to be on her husbands cellphone the moment that he ran head first into Daniel's car! In fact it was Mr. Kane's call to Sarah that distracted him from keeping his eyes on the road and lead to he fatal car smash-up!Daniel at first is very kind and helpful to Sarah in dropping a law suite against her dead husband's estate in him causing the accident that save her home from being foreclosed in paying the lawsuit off. It's only later when Daniel started to get the hots for the very pretty 7th grade school teacher Sarah that things started to go downhill for him and everybody else who had anything to do with her especially Sarah's boyfriend fellow elementary school teacher Josh Werlitt. As his obsession for Sarah grew worse Daniel started to use his camcorder to freeze her in time and then take advantage of her while she was stuck in suspended animation. Daniel also took the time to get even with Josh whom he felt was a threat to his relationship, strange as it was, to Sarah by freezing him in place with his magic camcorder and then pummeling him to the point that when he was unfrozen, at the click of the camcorders pause button, he died from massive internal bleeding!In his spear time when he wasn't stalking Sarah Daniel spent his idle hours freezing time so he could pick pocket and rob people of their cash, while being frozen stiff, to pay off his bills. The very sexually charged up, in him knowing he can get away with it, Daniel also spend endless hours in womens clothing department stores changing booths watching young and busty women change and try on womens undergarments. That while at the same time he was stealing expensive clothes for Sarah who with the little money she made as a grade school teacher could hardly afford!***SPOILERS*** Daniel's strange obsession with Sarah started to get out of hand when he used his power of stopping time to try to get romantic with her that she, as a women being abused, frozen in time or not could easily sense! It's when Daniel, by now crazed with lust, tried to really get it on with Sarah that she turned the tables, or the pause button, on him. In fact it was Daniel not Sarah who in the end did himself in by realizing that his little gizmo's, the magical camcorder, actions had caused far more trouble then it was worth that he himself let it, by not trying to get out of the way of a runway wheelchair, finish him off and end all this misery once and for all times.

ophelia_hardin It makes for nice Twilight Zone episode. I think the guys who did it deserve some credit for the story and the storytelling. There's certainly nothing wrong with it and I don't know if a bigger budget would have helped all that much. The lack of it isn't in evidence, which is also to their credit.What you've got is a supernatural premise and its conclusions; competently acted, shot, edited and scored. It's got a theme, a style, decent characterization and a compelling plot. Nothing more, nothing less.There are far worse ways to spend 98 minutes and I enjoyed it. Rod Serling would be proud. In a word: sweet.

bwdude Most of the comments here are true. Yes, it CAN be seen as boring. Yes, the acting is not the best. Yes, the plot has it's holes.However, the ones who praise it also have their point.I for one really enjoyed it. It may be for the unique twist to having "superpowers" like stopping time. Someone else called it "not a science fiction movie, but a character study". And that is certainly true.I would have been disappointed, had I expected an action-laden superhero-movie with lots of surprises and SFX.Without these expectations, I am really glad to have seen it. Certainly not for everyone, but if you saw "The Quiet Earth" and liked it, this one is a must!What would you do if you could stop time?

synphonic I wasn't expecting much about this movie, but I wasn't expecting it to be as bad either. I just finished watching the movie and I came here to read what other people had to say and, to my surprise, others claim to have enjoyed it... So, after dragging myself through the movie I just felt the urge to create an account in IMDb leave my comment. The movie is slow, the plot makes little sense and the ending is very disappointing. It's about a guy who loses his family in a car crash and then finds out he's got a camcorder which can stop time. What?! Plus, this is never given any sort of explanation, anything that would make any sense. I wasn't looking for a scientific argument, just some sort of reasoning behind the plot. From that point onwards, the movie just keeps going down (very, very slowly). Really, a total wast of time. You'll do yourself a favor by skipping this one.
