this film goes way beyond what I expected. I purchased it because I like the films of Julie Ormond. I realized after I received it, that it was directed by Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David. While David is known for his excursions into the dark side of life. Jennifer is right there with him holding a flashlight. While most of the characters are demented, there is a twist in the proceedings a little more than half way through. This is the thing Alfred Hitchcock did so well.This film is quite a blood bath, and might leave you mistrusting the human race. There is actually room for a sequel should the producers wish to continue the mayhem. If you enjoy watching the studies in demented characters by David Lynch, you can expect more of this from his daughter. The actors all play their parts to a T. She learned her craft from papa, so be prepared for bloodshed.Read full review
Hi there, it's your ol' pal Nate "The B Movie King" Fairbanks and I'm just going to write a few words about "Surveillance" today: INTELLIGENT CREEPY SURREAL UNPREDICTABLE ENGROSSING SUSPENSEFUL I don't want to say too much about the plot, because this is one of those films that the less you know going in, the more amazing the experience will be. one of the most interesting themes of "Surveillance" is our conditioning to automatically submit to authority figures and its explored in a way I've never seen before. I really love the fact that "Surveillance" was co-written and directed by a woman (we need MORE female directors and writers). Her name is Jenifer Lynch and she delivers on every level. Bill Pullman pulls off another quirky role as an FBI agent with a little something extra. This is a great movie....WATCH IT!Read full review
PLOT: 2 FBI agents are working to find out the real details of the roadside death of several people from three different witnesses~ WHO ALL HAVE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE TRUTH~ two BAD cops have a hobby of shooting out passing car tires~ tormenting and or robbing the people in the car~ when a chain of events have several people dead~ including one of the bad cops~ JULIA ORMOND AND BILL PULLMAN are FBI who arrive with surveillance equipment to tape the interviews of all three witnesses including a 9 year old girl~ the plot is very bizarre~ the ONLY thing remotely entertaining is the interesting angles this movie was shot with~ and a SHOCKER of a violent TWIST ending~ this is ONLY worth watching once~ I would put this under HORROR rather than thriller~ since their is no one we can bond with except the 9 year old ~ who never really seems upset she witnessed her entire family shot in front of her eyes~ I only give this a 3 stars~(it should have been a 2 STARS) because of the shocking ending~ which I did not in my wildest dreams see coming~ plenty of gore~ I would have named this police voyer myself~ LOL~Read full review
I LOVED IT. BILL PULLMAN AND JULIA ORMOND ARE TWO OF THE LEAST RECOGNIZED AND MOST UNDERRATED ACTORS. IN THIS LITTLE ENTRY, BOTH PLAYED EERILY DARK AND SARDONIC CHARECTORS. THEY HAD ME THINKING THERE'S SOMETHING ODD OR 'FISHY, ABOUT THEM, BUT I WON'T PRETEND I KNEW THE OUTCOME. THE FILM IS A DARK AND SOMETIMES WHIMSICAL STORY THAT ENTERTAINS AND SURPRISES. TRY IT, ITS A SLEEPER I WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE THEATER FOR. DOUG 1252
OK, extremely violent.

The "surprise" was a bit obvious near the end. But it was well executed none the less. The fact a woman wrote and directed made it more compelling. Known actors like Bill Pullman, Cheri Oteri and French Stewart pushed their talents admirably. A good purchase.
Jennifer Lynch's Surveillance is a more down-to-earth cinematic expression after her somnambulistic maiden voyage with Boxing Helena. Her commentary track helps to unwind these unusual and pre-occupied characters.
If you enjoy movies that are extremely shocking,like riding a rollercoaster and you want to look away but you can't, you will love this movie! Jennifer Lynch didn't fall from her father's tree, she is still on the tree! Love this movie!!
Very good suspense movie...loved it!!! I love movies like this one I recommend this movie 100% well worth the money...over all Awesome!!!!
I was really surprised that two of my favorite actors chose to be in this gruesome and disturbing movie. What it says on the cover 'Twisted and Disturbing' is understating this movie. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who has nightmares
