Movie Review: 'Bring Her Back'

  • The Phillipou brothers directed Bring Her Back, a 2023 Australian horror film about recently orphaned stepsiblings Andy and Piper placed in foster care with a grieving mother named Laura.
  • Following their father’s sudden death, Andy and Piper face growing tension as Laura performs a Satanic ritual to resurrect her dead daughter, which leads to escalating violence and horror.
  • Billy Barratt stars as Andy, a teenager preparing for guardianship of Piper, who is partially sighted and played by Sora Wong, and Sally Hawkins portrays the foster mother Laura with intense complexity.
  • Critics note the film’s unsettling mix of grief, body horror, and occult elements, praising Hawkins' performance for its 'ferocity that is breathtaking' while acknowledging the film’s bleak, disturbing tone.
  • Bring Her Back received generally positive but not unanimous praise, with reviewers emphasizing its intensity and the Philippou brothers’ continued exploration of discomforting horror themes.
