Critics Consensus

A domestic nightmare that draws its most profound scares from Sally Hawkins' deranged performance, Bring Her Back is an exemplary chiller that reaffirms directors Danny and Michael Philippou as modern masters of horror.

Audience Says

Bring Her Back is a harrowing motion picture that may gut the bravest of horror buffs, reiterating that the Philippou brothers are here to slay.

It is nevertheless intelligent, with Piper’s visual impairment factored into script and imagery in a way that is logical and inventive, rather than exploitative.

Bring Her Back is a film that knows how to provoke, but not how to provide much insight.

Algo Más Que Cine

Bring Her Back is a haunting tale of grief and terror, where Sally Hawkins delivers a mesmerizing performance. The Philippou brothers turn water and emptiness into eerie metaphors, leaving images that linger long after.

Rated: 8/10

What stays with you is not the shock of what happens, but the quiet ache of how it happens. That’s what gives the film its lasting chill. It’s slow, grim, and carried by performances that stay with you.

This is a story that manages to get under the audience’s skin and emotions thanks to excellent technical work, even if its narrative doesn’t fully elevate the experience.

I was so utterly disgusted with this movie that I can't express my hate as much as I'd like lol. Very suspenseful, eerie, and dark. It's an interesting showing for sure.

It's intense throughout. It's definitely dark and even surprisingly emotional for this type of film. Solid acting all around, and it'll likely stick with you for a bit after the movie ends. It's not a scary film and not necessarily horror but has horror aspects and elements for sure. It's worth a once over.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It had some of the hardest scenes I've ever had to watch in a horror movie. besides that, it was pretty average. good acting all around the woman casted as the foster mother was casted great. she had a creepy vibe to her overall decent movie, but it's one of those movies you watch one time
