      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Suspended Animation offers some gory good fun for genre fans, even if the end results don't quite transcend their cheerfully shallow roots.

      V.A. Musetto New York Post Rated: 2/4 Mar 27, 2004 Full Review Peter Debruge Premiere Magazine These twisted sisters rank among horror's most bizarro murderesses. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 5, 2003 Full Review Tim Cogshell Boxoffice Magazine It's not a masterpiece, but it's effective. Rated: 3/5 Nov 2, 2003 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena O roteiro surpreende ao fugir do convencional e trocar o suspense pelo drama, oferecendo, no processo, timas atuaes (especialmente de Esterman).

      Audience Member Imagine Misery with an animator instead of an author, that's your basis and then add flat acting and tediously slow execution and then you know to avoid this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member About 40 minutes too long, with a few too many story elements. More soap opera than horror. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty freaky at the beginning, it kept me amused. haha to the men who go on hunting trips though! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie adds a new genre to horror, The Epic Horror. Rather than end at the climactic escape it goes on and on. I had to check if Kevin Costner directed it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member When whacked out female hosts tie a guy to a chair and show him their collection of severed, preserved penises, you know he's in for an interesting visit. This actually turned out to be a much better developed story than I anticipated. Not bad for your standard horror fare. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't expect to like this, considering that the DVD was two Australian dollars, but I found myself genuinely surprised at how disturbing and well-made it is. 2 bucks very well spent. It is also impossible to not notice the amazing similarites to Rob Reiner's 'Misery' in 1990. This movie is set in winter, and about a film director, whose character is extremely similar to that of the character in Misery, who loses control of his snowmobile and drives it onto the property of two bizarre murderous women, who tie him up and mentally and then physically manipulate him, featuring one graphic scene of violence.
