Surrogate (2022)
Directed by David Willing
Written by Beth King, David Willing
Starring Kestie Morassi, Jane Badler
Release Date September 2nd, 2022
Surrogate is a movie with good ideas that comes up just a little short in execution. The film stars Kestie Morassie as Natalie Paxton, a nurse with a beautiful young daughter and a mostly happy life. That life gets upended when, while working far from home to pick up some extra money, she's assaulted by a deeply disturbed and ill woman. While attempting to save this woman's life, Natalie becomes infected by whatever this woman has been infected with. Is it a demon? Is it some kind of alien? It's unclear initially.
Soon after arriving home, Natalie becomes violently ill. Upon waking up, she finds herself covered in blood from the waste down. She goes to the hospital and is told that she has recently given birth. This isn't possible given the state of Natalie's personal life but the doctor and an investigator named Lauren Balmer (Jane Badler) from child and family services, do not believe her. Balmer wants to know what Natalie did with her non-existent baby and she will be most ineffectual for the rest of the movie.
