G'day, i'm the co-writer and director of Surrogate, thanks to everyone who enjoyed my film and commented. Regarding darkness it's likely the transfer to TH-cam, when it screened in cinemas the night scenes looked great and there is plenty of contrast in the grading to see all the images.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Great plot and the backstory was good enough to keep me guessing and interesting enough to support an emotional ending. The acting was perfect!! Really great actors too. The mom and daughter played great. Congratulations on making a bad ass movie. Please let me know what other works of art you have produced, I'd love to watch or listen to them Thank you for the awesome film. Most genuine writing and acting. ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely brilliant movie, honestly kept me captivated the whole time. Very impressive and should be very proud to have been part of making such an amazing concept and movie. Well done. I'm a huge fan of these types of films and was running out of good one's to watch and this one was definitely was not a disappointment.
This movie is a gem. With better sound effect and CGI, this can be in the top list of horror movies. By the way, horror movie doesn’t mean lights have to turn off all the time. 😂
I was so wonderfully enrapt by this movie. I LOVED the different ghost/psychic mythologies, PARTICULARLY the "left and right mirrors." WHERE did you come up with that idea, because I want to use it in a story! Also, making the psychic a child with a knowing father is absolutely a tour de force. You have made an EXCELLENT film here; five stars!
That comment doesn’t make any sense in relation to what I think you re trying to say 😂😂😂😂 and also are you in any way qualified to be handing out stars ??
Its a unique film and i like it SPECIALLY because the ending isnt a happy one, making the protagonist look like all other women, and not the chosen one who could defeat the evil because she was smarter or worked harder or was luckier than the rest. I like that in a movie. The realistic touch.
I am glad i watched this gem, i didnt know anything about it other than the title, it grabbed me right away with the excellent acting and directing. Very good Aussie movie. 👏
Oh that was very, very good, well done Australia. A dark brooding film that pulls you in from the start and releases you only at the very end, and oh the end.
I'm a bit amazed, that there are this many positive comments. Not to be mean, or to step on anyone's toes, because I appreciate how difficult it must be to write, direct, act, film and edit an entire movie. I haven't seen all yet. Stuck at the first hospital scene after the "abortion". First advise: make sure your got your facts straight, from a reliable source, when you want to make a scene that is connected to a real profession or trait or statement. There will ALWAYS be people who really know what it's like to work a certain job, and that will watch your movie. Someone who lost THAT much blood and afterwards just lay there with NO transfusion bags for just liquids, leave alone blood???? An abortion this out-of-hand and no sedation or anaesthecia?? Ri-di-cu-lous to anyone that works in that field. For me, the story looses credibility immediately. After that, I personally can't get really get into it anymore because it's just so silly. And that's what I mean. I find the acting mediocre. It would be more believable if the little girl showed more emotions, as she visits her mom in hospital. She must have seen all the blood, and the pain her mom was in, as she was rushed of to hospital. She would be upset. Dr Anti-Abortion is a wuss. The patronising way the lady from child protect services talks to her is disgusting.
wow. You need a hobby or something better to do than try to fool people into thinking you're intelligent in TH-cam comments. Your comment is silly. I'm sorry you aren't wise enough to know the level of stupid you displayed here!
This was damn near brilliant! I thought it may be weak because the horror lay only in being accused of what you didn't do, but oh - there's so much more!
Wow. This was good. There is such a powerful love between a parent and child. Excellent work on this film…. Story , Acting , the way it was shot , everything…. Well done ! Much love to all from Huntsville, Alabama,USA 🖤👻🎃
Awesome movie. What I loved the most is the medium girl has awesome support of her father which that is incredibly rare. I've always said I'm not jealous or envious. As I have those gifts because I am very sensitive to the spiritual realm and experienced such events like this myself in my lifetime. I'm envious of her, no one believed or supported me. She is very lucky. Turning to old paganism craft to protect myself from these entities has kept alot of possessing entities like Lisa away from myself and my children who have inherited my gifts. Phantom pregnancies are real. And should never be taken lightly. Should always dealt with immediately..
This movie reminds me so much of one missed call with naughty arse child but also of the american version of dark water and the Mom. If you've seen either of these movies and liked them, you'll appreciate this one!!! A mother's love is everything when it comes to protecting their child/ children!!!
47 minutes in & I'm really enjoying this,it gives you enough to keep watching..Thankyou,I haven't been able to get into any films recently..but this one I am enjoying so far.. Hope Everyone is keeping well,have a nice day/evening & take care ☮🦋💜🐞☮🦋💜🐞
I got it but only to the ending. I think that girl is the lady’s daughter the one who Natalie visited at 1:05:25. I guess her daughter wanted Natalie to be her mother instead, because she might be better than her real mom.
This is a great movie. Acting is so on point and the scenes were really good. P.S. I also watched the making of Surrogate. Highly recommended. Kudos to the all the staff.
Aussie movies are unique and well made, loved watching this movie and another called “the grove”, cinematography is awesome. Australians should start making mainstream cinema in Hollywood
I haven't seen alot of Australian films (I'm in the uk) but I have come across a quite a few on here and I must say, well done Australia your films are bloody good! 🍻 here's to the next one! If anybody has any recommendations please let me know 👍
if you are a mom innocent of accusations, you do not have to allow any social worker into your home. a one time check without incident is enough. and if your child tells you that they are being harassed at night or wherever You as a parent better believe them. keep watch over your children. they are very susceptable to the spirit world.
It's illegal for the government to search a person's home without a warrant but being Native American, Latino or black is concern enough I've been told. States consider themselves beyond reach of practicing the Constitutional law like Southern states thought they didn't have to treat everyone free and equal before the Civil War.

Mary Tudor is the most famous case, where She had all the hallmarks of pregnancy come to full term and even went into labor, with no child in the womb.
We respect all the great comments about this movie, however being honest we did not understand this story /plot at all. Could not find anywhere that gave some explanation about this story. We tried to watch it but gave up at 38:29.
I've not seen the movie yet, let me just anticipate It comes quite naturally for people in service to communities they live in or represent It need not classify itself to the horror genre. Is anybody trespassing The hallow has weaned enough & its a New Moon DAY The dark has its light shone in the next 3 days Until then the Pro- testaments are worthy either side , the farthest is still far fetching No worry We love it that way The Demise & the Surro In the presence/absence of a GATE in the surrounding
"Want some chewy"? (4:45) I'm going to assume that this plays homage to Kestie Morassi's character "Zarah" in Underbelly when she first met Lewis Caine played by Marcus Graham 😂
I watched in high quality and was perfect! Was a really good movie enjoyable and very good and georgous actress! Is not super scary but the story is interesting the dark ending is not for everybody. Thanks for the movie
Can only say one thing; scared the Bejesus out of me! Is this based on a true happening? It is believable but on the other hand ...... who's gonna believe it?
Did It Really Scare The Bejesus Out Of You?! (I Havent Heard That Term In A Long Ass Time Lol) You Must Get Scared Easily! I Didn't Think It Was That Scary At All, But Everybody Has A Right To Their Own Opinion. I Actually Haven't Seen A Good Scary Movie (that actually scared me) In A Long Long Time, Like In Yearrrs. Im Still In Search For A Good Scary One. I Cant Remember The Last Time I've Watched A Scary Movie That Really Scared TF Out Of Me. I Do Love A Good Horror, Thriller Film 🎥 I Need To Find A Good One, If Anyone Knows Of A Good Scary, Horror One LMK!! 👍

I ready love the movie, I can't stand up from where I was sitting from the start of the movie till end. I even cry in my heart as a mom the feelung for her daughter. I am thinking of my kids too while watching the movie. Thank you for the writer and the director as well
know what? i bet when even parents, grown adults as they are, are going around their child's room in an attempt to reassure their child that there's no monsters hiding any where, they're just as scared as the kid is. : )

Great movie mate. Thank you!
Great Movie, kept you guessing ...
The psychic girl and her father need their own movie!!
Agreed, we'd love to expand on their world and have a few ideas!
They weren’t very helpful were they?😊
I second that ❤
Brilliant idea
Literally one of the best horror movies ive seen in 20 years. Wow.
So true it’s awesome
I didn't think TH-cam could recommend a masterpiece such as this.. loveeet ❤❤❤
Its a struggle to find a decent horror movie these days. I appreciate coming across this one. Well done.
NOT IS THE DARKNESS !!!
Don't you know it DOES NOT HAVE TO BE such a BLACK-OUT !!!
With the proper lighting expertise !!!
I agree with you, it's definitely hard to get a good scary one
Thanks!

One of the best movies I've ever seen. Great job to the creators.
This waa really good! A unique angle on the haunting genre and i really did feel for the characters which is so rare for me. Surprising!

The innocence and normality of the characters makes it very hard to watch.. im from NZ which neighbors Australia so it definitely hits home..
This was damn near brilliant! I thought it may be weak because the horror lay only in being accused of what you didn't do, but oh - there's so much more!
Wow!! Great movie!! Top credit to everyone involved!! I'm so scared right now, lol! But I loved it! Bring on part 2!! 👏
Awesome! Awesome movie! Thank you for posting. I love paranormal movies 🍿😮😊👍🍿
No clear explanation for the incidents and no way title connected to the story
Wow. This was good. There is such a powerful love between a parent and child.
Excellent work on this film…. Story , Acting , the way it was shot , everything…. Well done !
Much love to all from Huntsville, Alabama,USA

This was an fantastic movie to watch. The ending was a twist from what i expected.
Almost Hollywood worthy! Really good movie! Thanks!
You’re welcome Joyce, thanks for watching!
What a beyond Great Movie!!!! I was captivated till the end!!! T Y Sir!!!
Watched From South🇿🇦Africa... Very Good Movie... Absolutely Loved It...
Thanks for watching!
Thanks MC. I’m not usually one for scary movies but I thought this was pretty good. The actors played their parts well.
This is a film Australia can be proud off good job everyone
Great movie, very scary and amazing actors. Love from Sweden 💛💙
I thought that this would be awful like most of the films on TH-cam, but i loved it! Good job
Awesome movie. What I loved the most is the medium girl has awesome support of her father which that is incredibly rare. I've always said I'm not jealous or envious. As I have those gifts because I am very sensitive to the spiritual realm and experienced such events like this myself in my lifetime. I'm envious of her, no one believed or supported me.

Turning to old paganism craft to protect myself from these entities has kept alot of possessing entities like Lisa away from myself and my children who have inherited my gifts.
Phantom pregnancies are real. And should never be taken lightly. Should always dealt with immediately..
Can u tell me what did u mean ? D entities? Fantom preg? Plz? I don't wanna watch d movie so I wanna know from u. I don't wanna b into shits
Brilliant..love the story the actors the non gore with simple yet effective story line..where fo we pay!!
I recommend everybody watch this movie such a good psychological emotional and scary film such a good feeling wow
In lingua straniera non ci capisco un cacchio!
Good feeling you say 😢
Yes I am Indian
Very good movie, worth to watch it again, recommend every one to watch it ❤
very few movies scar me.this was well done ..gave me chills three times..must watch...
To who ever thats reading the comments highly recommended awesome movie 🍿.
This movie reminds me so much of one missed call with naughty arse child but also of the american version of dark water and the Mom.
If you've seen either of these movies and liked them, you'll appreciate this one!!! A mother's love is everything when it comes to protecting their child/ children!!!
One missed call had one my favourite fist half of a movie, the idea of getting the phone call with yourself dying was scary.
47 minutes in & I'm really enjoying this,it gives you enough to keep watching..Thankyou,I haven't been able to get into any films recently..but this one I am enjoying so far..
Hope Everyone is keeping well,have a nice day/evening & take care ☮🦋💜🐞☮🦋💜🐞
I am having trouble like that too!!
Really good Aussie actress, need to see more of her, enjoyed the movie, although it's a little bit too in the dark
Good movie and acting, imagine it being played in the cinema a lot of people would have been enjoying it just like i have.
Excellent! Saw a shot of a place where my psych friend used to live
I got it but only to the ending.
I think that girl is the lady’s daughter the one who Natalie visited at 1:05:25. I guess her daughter wanted Natalie to be her mother instead, because she might be better than her real mom.
Ending part is sad..she sacrificed herself 😢..btw great movie Love from INDIA ❤
I think I am a psychopath 😅😅😅i really love horror movies ❤
This movie is worth watching,really enjoyed 😊
All r not psychopath whoever love horror, comedy, etc
Weird but quite good in a Bizzare way!!
This was a good film definitely worth watching
Quite a good movie not bad at all thanks for sharing this ❤❤
Bon film d'horreur. Merci pour le partage.
This is a great movie. Acting is so on point and the scenes were really good.

An awesomely fantastic movie Thanks for sharing top quality on TH-cam
Truly great work. Hope there's going to be many more from you
👍🎬🥂
Very very good movie ..GOOD ACKTING

Best horror movie I've seen in years! Thank you
I'm taking your word on that.I'm going to give it a watch now.❤
Awesome movie 🎬 ❤❤❤ Two thumbs up 👍 👌...Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭

they are very susceptable to the spirit world.
To the spirit world? What? Can you tell me more I just I'm sorry it's hard very hard for me to believe in ghost and all that.
This is horror movie.

She looks evil, maybe the kid was scared of her (if it’s even a female) 😆
Never heard of this case but will research it!
@@DavidWilling yes I'll check it out myself🤔
There was a case where a man was married 5 times and had a total of 12 kids. Eight girls and four boys. But, he was a android🤷🏼.
Don’t believe everything you hear. Hospitals use all sorts of medical devices to examine pregnant women🤷🏼.
Awesome movie and the actors were amazing!

This movie is absolutely AMAZING ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loved the movie❤
I want a 2, where the mother gets free!
Love it! I am watching from Serbia. ❤

It comes quite naturally for people in service to communities they live in or represent
It need not classify itself to the horror genre.
Is anybody trespassing
The hallow has weaned enough &
its a New Moon DAY
The dark has its light shone in the next 3 days
Until then
the Pro- testaments are worthy either side ,
the farthest is still
far fetching
No worry
We love it that way
The Demise & the Surro
In
the presence/absence of a GATE
in the surrounding
Great movie. Thank you so much 🙂 Have a blessed day ♥️
This was most definitely a trippy horror flick, quite original, worth the watch 👍👍
Great movie. Loved it!
Absolutely enjoyed it worth the watch Will definitely watch it again
Cheers Kelly!
@@MovieCentralthere is no clear explanation about all the incidents in the movie
Loved the movie but I think the ending could have been better.
Well hat a movie.
I loved it so much.
I wouldn't want to be in the mum's place.
Great movie
Cheers Sibble!
