Surveilled

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.

This is compelling and engaging throughout. The pace of the story cannot be faulted, the story gradually unfolds and surprises with convincing plot twists. Raya films look ready for the big time now although the movie still has all the endearing qualities you would enjoy in an Indie flick.

I recently watched this at the Horror on Sea film Festival. This is a well acted and imaginative take on a story revolving around a serial killer . This has some sharp dialogue and some interesting characters. The film is made more impressive by the fact that parts are shot on a mobile phone. Do check this out if you are able.

I had the opportunity to see this film screen in San Diego at the International Mobile Film Festival. The cinematography is expertly crafted and very often throughout the film you forget that it was filmed with a smartphone. It's a mystery wrapped in drama and sprinkled with a bit of humor. The actors are on point. I very much enjoyed watching the film and look forward to catching more work from these filmmakers.

This is a mystery thriller, but also a warning. Britain is one of the most surveilled countries in the world, but is that good or bad and can you take what you see on the surveillance screen at face value?
