Susan Gelb

Susan Gelb’s filmography is honestly a bit of a wild ride, just saying. She pops up in Children of the Corn (1984)—that classic Stephen King creepfest that made a whole generation suspicious of cornfields and small towns. You know the one: creepy kids, religious zealotry, Malachai glaring into your soul. Susan’s role might not have been the headliner, but she fit right into that unsettling Midwest nightmare vibe. Then there’s Bhedeye Ki Cheekh (1981), which, if you dig into old-school Bollywood horror, is a bit of a fever dream. Not many folks in the West have seen it, but it’s got that cult status in horror circles. Masked figures, weird supernatural stuff, and a soundtrack that’s straight-up bonkers—Susan’s in the thick of it, lending some legit fear factor to the whole affair. Now, The Surrender (2025) is a whole different beast. We’re talking future release, so details are slippery, but there’s buzz about a gritty, psychological drama—think less jump scares, more mind games. People are already speculating about Oscar potential, which, you know, is a little premature but not out of the question. Susan’s got this way of slipping under your skin, making you root for her even if you’re not totally sure she deserves it. Her career’s all over the map, from cult horror to whatever’s coming next, but that’s kind of what makes her interesting. She doesn’t play it safe. Never has.
