Fear the Walking Dead and The Boys actress Colby Minifie stars in a new indie horror, The Surrender, with Grey's Anatomy actress Cate Burton.
The movie premiered on Shudder on May 23 and is written and directed by Julia Max in her directorial debut. Max used the personal experience of losing her stepdad for inspiration. The Surrender follows a mother and daughter upon the loss of the family patriarch. Their relationship is tested when the mother hires an outsider to resurrect her dead husband. As the ritual spirals out of control, the mother and daughter must set aside their differences to fight for their lives.
Minifie and Burton portray the daughter and mother and are joined by Neil Sandilands (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), Vaughn Armstrong (Star Trek: Enterprise), Mia Ellis (Lavender Men), Pete Ploszek (You), Chelsea Alden (13 Reasons Why), Riley Rose Critchlow, Lola Prince Kelly and Alaina Pollack.
The Surrender streams for free on Roku and with a subscription on AMC+, Shudder, Philo, and DirecTV Stream.
