Bring Her Back

Synopsis

From Australian filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou — the visionary duo behind Talk to Me — comes Bring Her Back, a chilling story of two siblings who uncover a dark ritual in their foster home and must fight to survive.

When teenage step-siblings Andy (Billy Barratt) and Piper (Sora Wong) are placed in foster care after the death of their last surviving parent, they find themselves in the care of Laura (two-time Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins, The Shape of Water), a seemingly compassionate counselor. But behind her nurturing facade lies something far more sinister.

Alongside a withdrawn and troubled orphan named Oliver (Jonah Wren Phillips), Andy and Piper begin to unravel the disturbing truth: Laura is haunted by the death of her own daughter—and is desperate to bring her back. Guided by a mysterious "angel," Laura is willing to sacrifice everything, and everyone, to complete a dark and ancient ritual.

What begins as a new start for the siblings turns into a harrowing fight for survival in this chilling "spiritual successor" to Talk to Me, A24’s highest-grossing horror film to date.

Screening at Luna Leederville.

Reviews

Delivers a disturbing, character-focused story about grief while pushing the boundaries of on-screen violence.

The Movie Blog

“Bring Her Back” doubles down on its predecessor’s willingness to punish the innocent. I’m beginning to think that the Philippous don’t just want to shatter our nerves: They want to break our hearts.

The New York Times

★★★★ Sally Hawkins is intensely disturbing as the foster parent from hell, with Jonah Wren Phillips playing a creepy kid for the ages.

The Guardian

With an unhinged Sally Hawkins spearheading its mayhem, this sinister saga firmly establishes the filmmakers’ place near the head of the contemporary horror class.
