So, um, yeah, this movie is amazing in every way possible. I can't really say anything about its description, if I really did, there would be too many spoilers.

Surveillance is written and directed by Jennifer Lynch. You are thinking, "Lynch, hey that sounds familiar!" And you are ofcourse right. It is in fact David Lynch's daughter. Does the overall tone of the movie ring true to her family legacy? Abso-fucking-lutely. I loved this almost as much if not more than any David Lynch movie, because it shocked me in several ways, which hasn't been done in quite some time. Also, the movie is more coherent than I was expecting.

This movie is by no stretch of the imagination boring, but I will say it is a builder. You know, that isn't even a good word for it. Let's just say it is still really interesting and edge of your seat throughout entire film, but some spots are pure tension. And when I say tension, I really mean tension. I was so jumpy through the entire thing, not because I was scared but because I could hardy sit still with all of the awkward and intenseness and what not.

I have to mention Bill Pullman's performance. This movie is by far the performance of his life, subtle yet tricky. That is all I shall say, although believe me I have much more.

If you can only watch one indie film this year, for the love of god watch this. Pass if you have a weak stomach and heart though, this one is a dousy.
