This is a horror movie that doesn't have to rely on jumpscares; it doesn't have to rely on possession or creepy rituals, even though it's got both. And gore; I had to look away in one scene in particular. The actual horror is the all-too believable manipulations of a foster mother with a hidden agenda, and our feeling of powerlessness to stop her. This was the kind of film that it would be excruciating to have to leave before seeing the end, because it makes you care about its characters so much. You'll probably even finding yourself root for the villain. This is the best horror movie I've seen in a while and it stuck with me for days.

I've just stepped out of 'Bring Her Back' preview, and I'm still trying to steady my heart rate. For me, it felt like watching early Ari Aster or the original 'Speak No Evil' - that same creeping dread, that slow-burn descent into absolute horror. So tense, so relentless, I genuinely forgot to breathe at points.

The Philippou brothers have done it again. 'Talk to Me' was no fluke - 'Bring Her Back' proves they're not just playing in the horror sandbox, they're shaping it. This film gets under your skin early and doesn't let go.

The performances are excellent across the board (Sally Hawkins is devastating), but what really struck me was the direction. The shots are fantastic - meticulously framed, textured, and always hinting at something sinister lurking just out of frame.

And the gore. OMG, the gore. Not gratuitous, but felt - visceral, unnerving, and timed so well that even I, who usually handles horror like a champ, found myself getting properly squeamish.

The payoff? 100% worth it. Tonally, it sticks the landing. Emotionally bleak, sure, but never cheap. If you love your horror smart, stylish, and genuinely disturbing - this one's for you.

Definitely not disappointed.

I loved the acting , specially of Sally. Between moments you'd feel like you'd wanna punch her ,that's how good her acting is. Jonah tries his best for some sprinkle of horror, everytime he's on screen, he'd make sure you feel uncomfortable. Loved this movie for particularly the characters. The brother sister love is all over the movie.

It's not particularly horror, it's dark and depressing along with some gore elements sprinkled on top. Wait for the first half an hour for the character development and it takes off and never feels like a drag. No jump scare, wonderfully shot and the background score beautifully compliments the gore nature.

I'd recommend this movie wholeheartedly to everyone and would rate it a solid 8/10.

I'm not one to usually write reviews, but after catching an advanced screening of the Philippou brothers new entry into the horror genre, I just had to praise what I witnessed.

First off, this film is definitely not for the faint hearted, nor is it a horror film to particularly get enjoyment out of. It's bleak, extremely visceral, unrelenting and really emotionally devastating ... but in the best ways horror can be!

As soon as the movie starts revealing its evil side, it takes hold of you and doesn't let go.

All the actors portrayed their characters with emotional and realistic excellence, but Sally Hawkins was just unmatched. It's hard to really describe her performance without getting into spoiler territory, but she couldn't have done a better job at being so unnerving & emotionally powerful, both at the same time.

The cinematography was incredible, with heaps of little foreshadowing details sprinkled throughout the film. So many of the shots were precisely made to convey & ooze that feeling of uneasiness/dread, which just adds that extra layer to the film's atmosphere.

Speaking of the atmosphere, the Philippou brothers sure know how to pack a punch with their direction. While there is still a deeply emotional and brutal story at play here, the brothers don't mind having loose ends here and there & instead, they are more after that gut-wrenching, stomach-churning horror experience as a whole.

That brings me to the practical effects... Somehow, this film got a classification of only MA15+ in Australia, and that just baffles me in the best way possible.

After 'Talk To Me', I was expecting some pretty skin-crawling gore & practical effects, but boy oh boy, I wasn't expecting this.

This film just ramps up the violence on every level and is done so in a way that will have even the hardcore horror fans wincing, incredible stuff!

In all, this movie makes their debut film 'Talk To Me' come across as a fun horror movie to watch after 'Bring Her Back', just to wind down.

It's a slow burn descent into hell & by the end of the film, actually ends up being one of the more depressingly sad/emotional horror films I've seen in some time.

It will make you feel sick, sad & terrified, all at the same time.

Well done RackaRacka !

Bring Her Back" is the second feature film and horror movie made by the Philippou brothers. After their recent hit Talk to Me really blew me away with expert filmmaking, storytelling, hidden details, and strong characterization, I was excited to see their new movie and whether they could repeat that success. In this film, we follow a brother and his stepsister who are sent to live with a foster mother after their father dies. However, something strange is going on, and with the brother's troubled past and the sister's limited vision, their investigation into what is happening in their new home becomes increasingly difficult.

I can confidently say that the Philippou brothers did not create a one hit wonder with their debut film because Bring Her Back is an amazing cinematic experience filled with visceral bloody carnage and emotional depth. The movie has a tense atmosphere and some genuinely suspenseful moments that manage to scare without relying on cheap jump scares or tired genre tropes.

Even for someone like me who has rated over 3,000 horror films on IMDb, this movie was able to surprise me in several ways. While it becomes clear fairly early where the story is heading, it never felt boring or too predictable. The film features excellent cinematography and strong performances from the entire cast. The characters are interesting and multi-dimensional, and although the themes of trauma and grief are common in the genre, the Philippou brothers introduce them in a fresh and compelling way. "Enjoyable" might not be the right word given the dark themes and brutal violence, but the film does not shy away from showing the horrifying things that can be done to the human body.

One thing that could have enhanced the experience even further would have been more background information. The movie opens with found footage of a ritual, and I would have loved to learn more about the backstory behind how everything came to be.

Even though supernatural horror is not my favorite subgenre because it is filled with lazy films and generic scripts, Bring Her Back managed to both entertain and scare. It is a memorable addition to the genre and has me genuinely excited to see what Danny and Michael do next. I am especially happy for them since I have followed them since their chaotic YouTube days as "RackaRacka," and now they are creating well crafted and horrifying films for the big screen. [6.9/10]

BRING HER BACK was everything I hoped it would be. It will absolutely nauseate thousands of people. While many will recognize it's greatness, an equal amount will call it "a terrible movie" because it will so effectively fill them with intensely negative feelings throughout it's entire runtime, as it intends to do, and as most of the greatest horror movies of all time do. It is utterly brutal, and wholly unnerving, with the power to sicken and traumatize. There are plenty of movies that feature relentless amounts of brutal violence, but BRING HER BACK manages to disturb on a deeper level, likely by way of the great majority of it's brutality occurring amongst children (and, kids who are being manipulated by an adult, on top of everything else). It is painful to watch things unfold, and that's what makes it a truly effective horror film.

I took a chance on the directors' first film TALK TO ME when it hit theaters a couple of years ago, and was blown away. Not only was it fiercely original with it's concepts and it's vibe, but it was more fun than the majority of horror films, and got WAY more cruel and intense than I was expecting in its second half. When I saw the trailer for this, I knew it was highly likely they would be taking the cruelty even further, and that is precisely what they have done.

Casting lead Sally Hawkins in this role is the most brilliant casting utilization I have seen this year thus far. She is most commonly known as playing heartwarming characters (like Paddington's adoptive mother), but here, as the villain she is utterly terrifying - I think that knack for playing warm characters adds to the horror of her character immensely, and with these elements combined it leads to by far the best performance I've ever seen by her - fully gut-wrenching. All of the kids that fill out of the rest of the cast were phenomenal as well. I can't even imagine being Jonah Wren Phillips and playing the poster boy character Oliver - the role is so colossally intense, it makes me wonder if it's going to effect him in reality for the rest of his life - I feel like it will have to in some form.

Beyond all else, it's clear that the Philippou brothers are intelligent people. They know how to dig into the audiences psyche with such precision, and one of the key ways they do that is by keeping their films rich with a level of psychological depth that a great majority of horror films are missing nowadays. The movie is brimming with dramatic themes that are the type of things that deeply traumatize children in reality - taking this and rounding it out with some truly hellish supernatural ideas and visual horror, and you have the recipe for an absolutely devastating horror film. I was also impressed with the level of emotive resonance that this brutal film managed to conjure during its finale - I was on the verge of tearing up, and that is very rare for horror. The only reason I don't give it a 10 out of 10 is because I know it will simply be too dark and brutal for a huge chunk of the population, it doesn't exactly cater to repeat viewings.

I'm a fan of the Philippou brothers' work on "Talk to Me". While that film had plenty of creepy imagery, it still felt more like a fun, popcorn-style horror experience. That's why I was genuinely excited to hear about "Bring Her Back"-these are the kinds of follow-ups where you really see what directors are made of.

"Bring Her Back" takes a more serious and artistic approach to horror than Talk to Me. The first 30 minutes are dedicated to character development, which felt a bit slow and could have been tighter in editing. However, once the story gains momentum, it really takes off.

Rather than relying on cheap jump scares, this film builds tension through atmosphere and unsettling imagery. It's beautifully shot, often disturbing, and the acting performances are excellent. Definitely worth seeing in theaters.

The Philippou's brothers have again created a spellbinding horror film chock full of heavy themes, real characters and terrifying moments.

The brothers are arguably the best in the current horror game. Bring her Back reads more as a psychological thriller mixed with moments of true terror. The strength of the characters, the family bond and heavy themes all blend perfectly to create one hell of a ride.

The brother's style is so profound, the imagery, recurring motifs and downright brutal moments is something to relish. I love how we actually care about those on screen. Smart characters played by great actors that don't make any dumb decisions.

When the film really turns up a gear in the final act it never stops. Unafraid of breaking boundaries and playing it easy. It goes full force right until the end.

This is a must watch.

Went to a mystery movie showing and right before going someone predicted it would be this and I was really hoping they were wrong. The movie felt longer than it was. It had too many hanging threads left unanswered. For just a moment I had a glimmer of hope near the end that they would do something memorable but then the makers of the movie didn't have the nerve to deliver.

A good thing the movie has going for it is that the child actors manage to not be terrible and are actually decently good. It has a couple of funny slapstick moments though they tend to break up intense moments so don't know if they were intentional or not.

Bring Her Back is a misguided attempt at horror that mistakes gratuitous gore for genuine scares. There's no real tension or atmosphere, just a relentless barrage of blood meant to shock rather than disturb. At its core, the film is about a woman who deceives and manipulates foster children, but it fails to turn that premise into anything remotely frightening.

The so-called cult storyline is paper-thin, relying on grainy VHS footage that feels more lazy than nostalgic. I've seen people call this a masterclass and ask how anyone will ever top it, but to me, it was painfully dull, uninspired, and unoriginal.

The cinematography is nothing special, despite what some claim. This isn't elevated horror, it's mediocre filmmaking disguised as something bold, but it's really just torture porn with no substance.

I never write reviews, especially because I'm a cinematic enthusiast and just rate it and move to the next one, but this one... THIS ONE. The acting? Absolutely brilliant. This is definitely the best cinematography I've ever seen. I'm feel related to the directors in the sense that I'm so proud of them. The fact that you can go from filming youtube videos to creating something of this level, is proof that dreams can come true. I'm a geek for practical effects and this surpasses almost everything I've seen. I cringed, I laughed, I cried, and I was reminded to always live every moment like it's your last. Hug your loved ones today.

A movie to disturb the comfortable and also disturb the disturbed, Bring Her Back is the kind of thing I'll probably never watch again, but I'm glad to have seen it the one time. Not sure if it says anything good about me, but horror is the one genre that's able to get to me and reliably make me feel things, so bring on the gnarly stuff. I like it if a movie makes me feel something, even if those feelings aren't pleasant emotions.

There are some familiar horror things here, but I think the Philippou brothers push things far enough to ensure it doesn't really feel derivative while the movie is playing out. Looking back on it, it's kind of like, "Oh yeah, maybe it's not really all that original," but in the moment, Bring Her Back is visceral and intense. There's a very brutal scene that goes for the jugular a bit before the halfway mark, and from there, things do take off... but I think I felt more dread before that point. The knowing that things will go there might've been a stronger feeling than seeing things actually going there. That being said, when things go there, it was still impactful. It's just maybe this would've messed with me more, somehow, if it had never gone full throttle. Though then it would probably just feel like a Michael Haneke film, for better or worse.

I don't really want to say too much about the plot. It's a movie with a fairly limited setting and not many characters, and so saying anything about where those characters go and what they do has the effect of kind of giving away most of the film, potentially undermining the limited (but not non-existent) surprises on offer here in the process. That ties into that whole notion of the experience in the moment being much more striking than thinking back on the movie and trying to break it down. It's a rollercoaster; I was thrilled while it was happening, a bit nauseous right after it finished, and kind of moving on with my life an hour or two later (while not at all regretting going on the ride itself).

"Bring Her Back" is a masterclass in filmmaking and another standout horror triumph from directors Danny and Michael Philippou. It proves beyond doubt that Talk To Me was no fluke-this is a beautifully crafted, exquisitely shot film. At its core, it explores grief and just how far someone will go for the thing they love most. The entire cast delivers, but Sally Hawkins is absolutely, unapologetically terrifying. This is the horror film to beat this year-heart-pounding, skin-crawling, and impossible to look away from. Brilliant. 5 stars.

If you like original horror films that stay with you long after they have finished go see this film.

Bring Her Back is a visual horror masterpiece that left me feeling a bit hollow.

I did have an emotional connection with the characters and each actor was on point. However the ending left me wanting way more. I understand visual story telling, and some things are better left unsaid but with this film I needed more exposition.

This movie could have really built some cool lore with the cult elements and the ancient demonic entity, but instead it was pretty much brushed over. I did enjoy the videotapes when we got to see them but I wanted to see how Laura acquired them. That would have been really cool.

The character of Oliver was by far my favorite and every scene he was in he stole the show.

Brother and sister Andy and Piper were great leads and you could really tell they loved each through all of this grief they experienced.

Laura was a wicked person who had her own motives and she definitely had me sympathetic for her at times.

Overall I'd recommend, it's not for the faint of heart. It's dark, bleak and depressing with a beautiful visual paint brush over the lens. The Philippou brothers are technically brilliant and I'm looking forward to any piece of art they decide to put out in the future.

Horror is a genre which keeps reinventing itself with creative ways to scare its audiences. We see new twists, new styles, new takes on familiar stories that have been keeping generations of fans on the edge of their seats for decades. Once in a while a movie arrives that is so different and original that it can reset the genre or create a new sub-genre. Bring her back is one of those unnerving original tales that pushes the envelop and leaves a deep mark long after the movie is over.

Fans who were entranced by Danny and Michael Philippou's debut feature Talk to her, will shudder watching their Sophomore effort. Bring her back combines elements of supernatural, religious and psychological horror and injects it with tons of disturbing imagery, blood, teeth and flesh. What makes it really standout are its strong characters, their relationships and their terrific performances.

The bond between the two siblings is truly special and the heart of the movie. Billy Barratt and Sora Wong have done a great job making the audience really care and worry for their characters. The character of young Oliver played by Jonah Wren Phillips is so weird and eerie that even a slight movement and gesture is enough to make one's heart to skip a beat. However it is Sally Hawkins brilliant performance of a loving mother descending into utter darkness that is the real star and soul of the movie.

Dark, unsettling, visceral, horrifying, disturbing are words that describe Bring her back pretty well but at the same time dont do justice to the level of goosebumps, chills and frights it ends up delivering to the viewers. Bring her back is strictly for hardcore horror fans. Original, creative, dark, gory, almost unwatchable and heartbreakingly scary. Not for the faint-hearted. A must watch for horror fans. 9/10.

Ok I bought into many of the reviews and went to see this in the theatre. I don't know if these are paid people to post reviews or employees etc, but omg are so many of these reviews uber dramatic and hyperbolic. This is film is a tragedy with horror elements. I will always appreciate those trying to make original film and not just cashing a paycheck for derivative BS, but this movie is average or above average. The pacing isn't fast but it never drags. The acting is probably the true highlight. There are some gory, squirm in your seat scenes, but there's no way to call this movie "scary." And I'm not sure that's what it tried to be- rather many viewers seem bent on labeling this as just a crazy, scary, insane ride. It is not. It does, however, make a strong and emotional statement about loss, grief, and the power of family. My rating compared to most on this site these days will be seen as hating on the film. This isn't the case- I hate rating inflation. This film is worth a watch but you'll be frustrated if you expect the movie that is falsely presented in most of these reviews.

So I went to see this one on a bored work-day. I just got back from the theaters about 40 minutes ago. Overall - the RT percentage for this movie is way too high, but it's still an OK and watchable film

What I like: the protagonists Andy and Piper are both likable (though Andy is ultimately the one for the audience to get behind because Piper has a limiting handicap). There are some creepy moments, particularly involving the little boy Ollie. For a horror, the movie still has some lofty ambitions, with messages about grief and motherhood. Lastly, the movie doesn't explain the granular details about the mother's demonic ritual, such as the rules and origins; but I like that decision. The less we know, the creepier it is

Regardless, I find a bunch of faults .... as I said, the movie has some creepy moments, particulaly involving Ollie; but the scares are spaced between some very dry and slow portions. At numerous points, I found the film had an overreliance on the gross. Some scenes are unnecessarily graphic, in other words. There wasn't, for example, a legitimate need for us to see exposed male genitalia, and certain bloody scenes would've had the same effect if they were toned down ... visually, the movie is quite drab, and rather than make the film more somber or ominious, this visual style made the film an eyesore

I don't wish to spoil, but the ending is unsatisfying and un-memorable, getting a little too bleak in multiple respects. Overall - the same movie could have happened, basically, as a pure mystery-drama instead of a horror if you made some minor adjustments, like taking out the gore and eliminating Ollie's creepy appearance.

6.0/10.

Bring Her Back (2025) is the newest horror movie from Danny & Michael Philippou, the Australia brothers who gave us Talk to Me (2023), and this movie was another win for the two brothers.

Positives for Bring Her Back (2025): This movie is very different from Talk to Me (2023) as it deals with some very graphic imagery and a lot of gore that made me sick to my stomach in the best way possible. The movie is also dealing with human emotions and how some of us choose to deal with that and you feel bad for these characters. The performances from the cast are awesome with Billy Barratt as Andy, Sally Hawkins as Laura, Sora Wong as Piper and Jonah Wren Phillips as Oliver. There are moments where a character does things to other people and it made me mad, but when the movie shows us why certain things happen, I felt like I was to cry. This is one of those movies that isn't going to be for everyone as it is very bleak with its tone and imagery. And finally, I loved the ending of this movie and it felt like a weight was lifted off of me after watching it.

Overall, Bring Her Back (2025) is one of the most terrifying, depressing and bleak horror movies I've seen in a while. This movie also proved to me that the Philippou brothers are not one trick ponies and I can't wait to see what they do next.

People really need to get a grip. This film was passable but it's hardly the terrifying and most nail-biting horror movie you'll ever watch as most reviewers would have you believe. The acting, especially by the always brilliant Sally Hawkins, was outstanding but the horror aspect often got dragged down by meandering and boring melodramatic flashbacks that were too on the nose with sappy music. If you've ever watched Hereditary 2018 and a lot of horror movies, you'll probably find this movie too tame and predictable. Also, why is every movie now that is decent scoring 90s? It's so misleading. I think I'm just going to stick to iMDB user scores from now on.
