The Surrender


SYNOPSIS

A fraught mother-daughter relationship is put to a terrifying test when the family patriarch dies and the grieving mother hires a mysterious stranger to bring her husband back from the dead. As the bizarre and brutal resurrection spirals out of control, both women must confront their differences as they fight for their lives - and for each other.


REVIEWS

  • 83% Fresh op Rotten Tomatoes.
  • RogerEbert.com:  A two-hander about reconciling the various competing half-thoughts that squirm to your mind’s surface as you process the sudden death of a long-suffering family member. "The Surrender" accomplishes a lot with a sketch-sized story and matching compositional agility and precision. Contains some strikingly terrifying imagery and the final scenes, ones that seem to blur time and space, contain an unexpected emotional wallop.
  • Radiotimes.com: This is a film which, while acknowledging several horror touchstones, finds fresh and inventive ways to reinvigorate the genre.
  • MaitlandOnMovies: Filmmaker Julia Max brings something distinctively weird and nightmarish.
  • Collider.com: An unrelenting and visceral experience, Julia Max's feature film debut boasts unique and enthralling horror that is more than worthy of haunting your screen.
  • Awfj.org: The Surrender is a solid horror film, but where it truly excels is in its wholly singular, authentic and deeply empathetic portrait of palliative caregiving, which – as anyone who has ever done it knows – is a nightmare in and of itself.
  • Elementsofmadness.com: Give yourself up to The Surrender and allow yourself the chance to ponder the uncomfortable inevitability of the end. 4*.
