Surveilled is a 2021 horror-thriller film about a copycat murderer who is inspired by a series of popular crime novels.

Directed by James Smith (Agent Kelly; Cyberlante; Gentlemen of the Night) from a screenplay written by Caroline Spence, based on a story by James Smith. Produced by Johnny Kinch and Caroline Spence.

The British Raya Films production stars Thon Vaultron, Dywayne Thomas, Nathan L Weller, Dee Quemby, Melanie Gayle, The Anthony Lee and Johnny Kinch.

Surveilled is eerie, unique, and impressive. Pure pulp fiction fun. It's creepy, unconventional, and completely absorbing. If you're a fan of slow-burn indie mystery thrillers, then this one's for you.

Home Is Where I Lay (2022) perfectly captures the cabin fever aspect of the unfamiliar settings. Similar to The Shining, the film uses its setting to not only be atmospheric but also address some heavier topics. As someone who has been hurt by the church and someone still active in the church, my viewing of Home feels like a really unique place. The authority element that the film addresses within the church is heartbreakingly accurate. Annabella Rich brilliantly serves as the archetype for the mental health of those of us who have been hurt. I don't know if it's just my viewing and past experience but this film feels extremely personal. In its that vulnerability that the horror thrives.

Saw this at a film festival not long ago. The film is excellent. A lunchtime Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is in session at the historical John Street Methodist Church in the financial district of downtown New York City. Bill, a crippled atheist and highly successful N. Y. stockbroker, is in attendance after a recent car accident the night before while drinking and driving has injured an 8-year old girl and critically injured her father. He encounters a mysterious presence who catapults him down a rabbit hole of repressed memories, and regret. Story is well-written, acting is exquisite and editing is professional. I urge everyone to see this masterpiece.
