The supernatural horror elements in “Surrogate” are fairly effective, though dulled a bit by the movie’s low budget — and also by how common mysterious hauntings and spooky kids are in movies. Go to Full Review

4/5
Though Surrogate ’s premise may feel familiar at first, David Willing’s slow burn thriller is extremely effective. Go to Full Review

…Surrogate is well worth seeking out; it’s a tight, admirably controlled film that packs a punch without ever quite explaining itself or resolving the considerable mystery generated… Go to Full Review

7.5/10
Whilst not wholly original - the film does lean heavily on its influences - Surrogate is an effective and sometimes excellent low-budget horror movie that blends the supernatural with mystery and thriller aspects. An assured feature debut from Willing. Go to Full Review

3/5
Doing a lot with very little, Willing demonstrates a knack for deploying horror film chestnuts to great effect – sometimes subtly, sometimes not-so-subtly. Note to the squeamish: brace yourselves for a confronting scene that features blood. Lots of blood. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 09/07/2022
While this is, yes, a ghost story, David Willing’s first feature (which he co-wrote with Beth King) has an air of serious-minded realism that adds to its eeriness. Go to Full Review

Rich C @Cordu0702 May 2 Excellent film! Loved everything about it. A must watch! See more paul k 01/01/2024 Very effective low-budget horror movie featuring excellent performances and one of the best (and scariest) seance scenes I've ever seen. See more 06/23/2022 A must see for horror fans! A++++ See more 06/22/2022 Surrogate was a suspenseful plot driven story with lots of twists. It kept me on the edge of my seat all night, with a couple of jump scares in-between. I would definitely watch it again as it has kept me thinking about certain aspects of the storyline. Great cast Great film! See more 06/20/2022 Wow! What an awesome thriller! Had me both sinking into my chair in terror and sitting on the edge of my seat in suspense throughout the entire movie! The cast were incredible, in particular the young female lead, Taysha Farrugia, what a talent! This young actor was hauntingly natural, she portrayed her character so well and was terrifyingly cute and creepy all at once! Loved her performance and can't wait to see her in more films! Awesome movie, a must see on the big screen! See more 04/29/2022 I saw Surrogate at an independent cinema in Melbourne, Australia this week. The director attended the screening to introduce the film and met with everyone after to answer any questions which was really interesting. Surrogate was clearly made with lot's of passion, heart and creativity which oozes from the screen (along with a legendary blood effect moment). I look forward to watching it again as some story reveals have really stuck with me. See more Read all reviews
