About the film

"Surprise" is a slow-burn horror film designed to get under your skin. A young woman, alone late at night, is tormented by the appearance of a mysterious offering. Inspired by the horror works of Mike Flanagan and Ari Aster, "Surprise" explores the universal fear of what may be lurking in the dark.

Filmed entirely on an iPhone 14 Pro Max, this film is an experiment in sustained tension, as well as an attempt to push the limits of low-light smartphone filmmaking.
