released in 1981 to a limited success,it was only after 1984 when this was declared a video nastie,that people wanted to see this film,it was released again thereafter but censored,and now with this lovely looking two disc version,that problem has been sorted,for this is now the uncut version and thats cause for celebration!,but is the film actually any good?mainly yes,but this isnt an out and out classic by any means.
The gore scenes that we like to talk about are very good indeed,they dont stay on screen for long but they linger in the mind,the storyline is solid enough and the twist at the end is good,although i seen it coming but not from a mile off.

What is there not to like about this film? I agree with another reviewer, they dont make em like this anymore! It has its faults but thats part of its charm for me. They even managed to chuck in a few funny lines from time to time.
The film really captures the style of the comics and everyone seems to be having fun making it. Not a year goes by that I dont catch this movie at least once and its always a treat to see.
And the theme music ROCKS!

UNDER SURVEILLANCE was made in 1991, but never recieved a theatrical release (at least here in the USA). It was, however, the first screen credit for the writing team of ETHAN REIFF and CYRUS VORIS. They are not listed on the DVD cover, but they do indeed recieve credit in the opening title sequence. Reiff and Voris went on to pen TALES FROM THE CRYPT PRESENTS: DEMON KNIGHT (1995), BRIMSTONE (American TV 1998/99), BULLETPROOF MONK (2003), and most recently the Golden Globe-nominated mini-series SLEEPER CELL (American TV/2005). Any fan of their works will want to add this to their collection. Not great by any means, but still interesting to see where they started at. If you are ordering this from the USA, be aware that it is in the PAL format. I got lucky and ... Read More:
