Wanneer zijn vader onbedoeld overlijdt, eist Andy de voogdij op over Piper, zijn slechtziende halfzus, maar hij komt drie maanden tekort om de wettelijke leeftijd van 18 jaar te bereiken. Ondertussen plaatst de sociale dienst Piper bij Laura, een hulpverlener die dit soort zaken gewend is. Maar Andy weigert afstand te doen van zijn halfzus en dringt zich op aan Laura, die in een groot huis op het platteland woont. Al snel merkt de tiener het vreemde en opdringerige gedrag op van hun gastvrouw, die al Oliver opvangt, een stom en nogal verontrustend jongetje. Het lijkt erop dat de bedrieglijk minzame raadgeefster een droom najaagt: de geest van haar eigen verdronken dochter wakker maken.
Where to Watch Bring Her Back
- rg94004 dgn geledenThe second movie by RackaRacka is a good companion piece to Talk To Me. Like that movie, this one is filled with interesting and innovative camerawork, leading to some truly excellent cinematography. Some of the transitions are so smooth, you don't even realize what happened. It can also shock you with staggering brutality and disturbing sequences that punctuate the bleakness. The main difference between the two is the pacing. I think Talk To Me ratchets up fairly quickly and ends up feeling like a constant ride. Bring Her Back is more of a slow burn, with some of its first horror sequences occuring around the midpoint of the movie (opening aside). That's not necessarily a bad thing since this movie dials up the family drama leading to a more compelling cast of characters compared to their first movie. Bring Her Back also feels a lot more personal and intimate, an exploration of grief, versus being an attempt at making an allegory about larger thematic ideas. The acting is phenomenal across the board, with all 4 main characters all bringing fantastic emotional and physical range. It's honestly a very engaging and intense movie that forced me to look away and squeal at times, so in a lot of ways, it wholeheartedly succeeds at what it is trying to do. The main criticisms I can see from general audiences are that the ending can feel slightly unsatisfying. It's not a bad ending, it just feels slightly off and incomplete just in terms of pacing even though I think it resolves everything properly. Another criticism is that there are clearly rules related to the supernatural element in this movie, but the movie never explicitly explains them like in so many other horror movies (including Talk To Me). I had no issue understanding enough, but the movie never delves into the setup of how the supernatural worked or how it became connected to these specific events which might frustrate a few viewers. Also, with the title and the general setup of the movie, it isn't particularly hard to figure out what is going on and where the movie is headed. I think some might also find that last part a negative, but I think the inevitability really builds the tension and bleakness and makes the slow-burn work. Even if I suspect not everyone in my audience enjoyed this movie, I do think if you like your horror bleak, disturbing, intense, and filled with strong cinematography and performances (or you just enjoyed Talk To Me), you should watch this. Very excited to see what this duo does next.
- Media Computer14 juni 2026Fantastic horror striking you down to the very core, incredibly acted, very visceral and not for the faint of heart. This film will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, it may force you to ask yourself what you would do for a loved one. Must watch, but we prepared for a very heavy film it will take an emotional toll but I think it was worth paying.
- Tyler S1 juli 2025The Philippou brothers have definitively proven themselves as the must see horror directors of this decade. Talk To Me was an amazing debut and Bring Her Back is an incredible follow up. Creepy and bleak as all hell, this was a disturbing and hands down not feel good movie of the year. Cast was amazing but the obvious standout is Sally Hawkins. The bros knew what was up, you get mother fucking Sally Hawkins as a lead in your movie and you let her cook, and cook she did. The range of her performance throughout was mesmerizing, one second she's making you laugh the next your stressed and horrified. It's the same Oscar horror movie ignorance that robbed Toni Collette & Mia Goth that will no doubt rob Hawkings of the nomination her performance deserves. Hopefully the grim and unrelenting dread this movie induces doesn't keep people away, if you are a horror fan you are doing yourself a disservice not seeing this gem on the big screen. Highly Recommended! 👍👍 8.5/10
- Allie Tran30 mei 2025Danny and Michael Philippou have done it AGAIN. What a disturbing, disgusting nightmare this film was. Bring Her Back breaks the boundaries of just how disturbing a theatrical release can be. The ambiguous atmosphere adds to the creepiness of the film, making the viewer feel like they’re part of that world.
