Funerary rites make way for creepy cult resurrection rituals in the trailer for The Surrender, a new horror coming to Shudder.

Directed and written by Julia Max, the film sees The Boys' Colby Minifie and Grey's Anatomy's Kate Burton as Megan and Barbara, a daughter/mother duo faced with a rather unconventional grieving process. Following the death of Megan's father, Barbara begins anxiously gathering his precious things and awaiting the arrival of a mysterious group. What's going on?

The trailer, filled with unnerving glimpses at director of photography Cailin Yatsko's intense cinematography, indicates a horrific ritual is about to take place.

The Surrender is streaming on Shudder on May 23.
