Since the movie's sensibility ranges from the preposterous to the absurd, there are few genuine frights.
Top CriticA sturdy, well-made piece that never quite overcomes its structural flaws.
It has pace and variety and, best of all, it consistently has the courage of its imaginative and daring screenplay.
Feels a lot like two different Hancock jobs stitched together.
Describing what's bad about this movie is like describing what's orange about an orange, but suffice it to say that the best performance is given by a crucified raccoon.
Alternately tense and cheesy, Suspended Animation returns its director, John Hancock, to the blood-soaked turf he spaded 30 years ago with his ageless nail-biter Let's Scare Jessica to Death.
O roteiro surpreende ao fugir do convencional e trocar o suspense pelo drama, oferecendo, no processo, ótimas atuações (especialmente de Esterman).
Think Let's Scare Jessica to Death by way of Misery. "Twin Peaks" fans will want to pass.
These twisted sisters rank among horror's most bizarro murderesses.
Somewhere between a nighttime soap opera and an EC Horror comic book...
It's not a masterpiece, but it's effective.
Not great but mildly absorbing, Suspended Animation suffices for an evening's entertainment.
Piece of junk.
[P]oorly conceived, badly acted...
The film is like vomiting and then expecting your shoes to come out of your mouth. Neither is a pleasant experience, but on some level it has to be seen to be believed.
If the third-act denoument is predictable, the film has already delivered more twists than the average genre picture.
The devil -- and the delight -- here is in the detours.
Although overlong, the picture has a fair measure of jolts and surprises.
Anyone who's seen a horror movie in the last 20 years will frequently know what's going to happen next.
Audience Reviews for Suspended Animation
[i]Suspended Animation [/i]is an interesting horror film. It shifts in tone and story so much that even the rental box synopsis only covers the first 30 minutes of it or so. Perhaps it was the right length for the story it was trying to tell, but I felt that it was much too long.
