Suspended Animation ★★ 2002

Animator Thomas Kempton (McArthur) takes a break from his work to go snowmobiling with some buddies. He gets separated from the group and taken captive by a couple of crazy sisters who have a hatred of men and a love of cannibalism. Menacing and engaging script mixes the “Misery” with comic spatterings. Hancock goes old-school but fails to overcome structural flaws. 114m/C DVD . US Alex McArthur, Sage Allen, Rebecca Harrell, Laura Esterman, Maria Cina; D: John Hancock; W: Dorothy Tristan; C: Misha (Mikhail) Suslov; M: Angelo Badalamenti.
