Synopsis
The Surrender (2025) is a horror film by Julia Max that you can watch online on iFILM. Megan and her mother are nursing her father through terminal cancer, old grievances simmering between them.
When the patriarch dies, the rift cracks wide open. Refusing to let go, the grieving mother hires a mysterious stranger who claims he can pull the dead back across, and starts preparing the ritual. Kate Burton plays a mother whose mourning has crossed a line; Colby Minifie is the daughter trapped with her through one very long night.
First-time director Julia Max builds her dread out of grief, guilt, and what desperation talks people into, rather than cheap jump scares. A tight, 18+, 95-minute chamber piece where the scariest part isn't the rite — it's how willing the mother is to go through with it. Stream The Surrender (2025) online on iFILM.
