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.

Observer (UK)

[Sally Hawkins] strikes a tricky balance between cuddliness and monstrous cruelty. It’s as if somebody hand-knitted a psychopath -- and it’s one of the scariest things I’ve seen this year.

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.

Digital Journal

After the success of their first film, the Australian brothers once again reimagine a horror standard, but this time moviegoers will find themselves more disturbed than scared.

There’s a mean streak thrumming through “Bring Her Back”, a malevolence that directors Danny and Michael Philippou harness to often distressing ways. This is a world teeming with nastiness, and mostly devoid of catharsis.

Certainly a hard watch if you can’t deal with body horror. I liked the plot and cinematography. Good young/ child actors.

No words can describe this movie, except maybe, satanic cult ritual and dark plot twists mixed with heavy emotional family dynamics and beautiful cinematography.

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.
