Several months ago, we shared the teaser trailer for the supernatural horror film Surrogate, which stars Kestie Morassi in her return to the horror genre, sixteen years after she crossed paths with serial killer Mick Taylor in Wolf Creek (watch it Here). When we shared that trailer, which is embedded above, a release date hadn’t yet been announced for Surrogate. But now we know when we’re going to have the chance to see the movie. Surrogate will be available to watch – transactional VOD – through Amazon as of September 2nd. Starting September 16th, it will also be available on Tubi and GoogleTV, courtesy of Indie Rights.
David Willing makes his feature directorial debut with Surrogate, working from a screenplay he wrote with Beth King. The film finds Morassi in the role of Natalie Paxton,
a single mother and nurse who is rushed to hospital after suffering massive internal bleeding.

Along the way, a scarred and seasoned Detective John Bennett (Richard Norton) fights his own inner demons whilst trying to solve the crime.
From director John Balazs and writer Michael J. Kospiah, Rage was produced by Marlane Ghmed and Vikki Blinks for Prima Lux Films in association with Adam La Rosa for La Rosa Productions.
