Julia Max directed, wrote, and produced the new feature “The Surrender.” Starring Colby Minifie (“The Boys”) and Kate Burton (“Grey’s Anatomy”), the supernatural horror streams on Shudder starting May 23rd. CinemAddicts co-host Bruce Purkey chimes in on whether or not “The Surrender” is worth your time!

“The Surrender” centers on Barbara (Kate Burton), a grieving mother who hires a mysterious stranger (Neil Sandilands) to bring her dead husband (Vaughn Armstrong) back to life. Colby Minifie co-stars as Barbara’s daughter Megan.

In his review, Bruce Purkey said Burton and Minifie delilver “super solid” performances. Unfortunately, “The Surrender’s” slow burn aesthetic didn’t completely work for him, and he claims the final act “just lays there.” That said, Purkey does give a mild recommendation to “The Surrender,” and you can judge for yourself when it hits Shudder on May 23rd!
