A Trailer for "Bring Her Back" Adopts a Nightmarish Tone for Morning Viewers
In the upcoming horror movie "Bring Her Back", directed by Danny and Michael Philippou, audiences are in for a spine-tingling ride. The film, set for release on May 30 by A24, follows the story of two step-siblings, Andy and Piper, who are sent to live with a foster mother named Laura after the death of their father.
However, Laura's secluded home hides a terrifying secret. As Andy and Piper settle in, they uncover sinister events linked to Laura’s deceased blind daughter Cathy, who drowned in the backyard pool, and the presence of an enigmatic mute boy named Oliver. Laura's behavior becomes increasingly unsettling as she manipulates Andy and engages in a ritualistic attempt to bring Cathy back, dragging the siblings into a supernatural ordeal.
The plot builds psychological horror through Laura's manipulation of Andy's mental state and the family's exposure to disturbing ritualistic acts, including a recurring motif involving water and death. The movie uniquely combines strong emotional realism with disturbing horror elements, avoiding typical jump scares and instead creating an intense atmosphere by reversing traditional horror tropes. Key scenes involve graphic and emotionally charged interactions, such as Andy trying to communicate with Oliver, who reacts violently and cryptically.
"Bring Her Back" explores themes of grief, family trauma, and the terrifying consequences of trying to reverse death through occult means, all set against a claustrophobic, eerie foster care environment controlled by Laura’s deranged influence.
The movie boasts a talented cast, including Sally Hawkins, Billy Barratt, Sora Wong, Jonah Wren Phillips, Sally-Anne Upton, Stephen Phillips, and Mischa Heywood. "Bring Her Back" is a follow-up to the Philippou brothers' 2023 debut "Talk to Me". The title "Bring Her Back" suggests that someone who is no longer alive may return or make a return visit in the movie.
The movie features haunting video footage, weird bath time scenarios, and an oddly angular empty swimming pool, promising a visually striking and unsettling experience for viewers. Don't miss out on this chilling new addition to the horror genre when "Bring Her Back" hits theatres on May 30.
