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.

Time Out

As with their debut, the Philippou brothers show a real skill for creating believable teen characters, Barratt and Wong create a tender, affecting chemistry that make the chills all the more affecting.

Rated: 4/5

Toronto Star

The brothers deserve credit not only for taking their story to dark places, but also for stranding it there, away from easy answers or catharsis.

Rated: 2.5/4

Stephen Romei

The Australian

[Bring Her Back is] scarier without resorting to chainsaws or any of the other instruments of mayhem that on-screen psychopaths are fond of. It’s tense from start to finish and it shows [Danny and Michael Philippou's] strengths as filmmakers.

Rated: 4/5

So much more disturbing but somehow not as mean in its conclusion, Bring Her Back may not reach the heights of Talk To Me, but certainly proves that the creative team aren't a one hit wonder. An absolute nightmare.

A depraved horror film that subverts many tropes, finding a freshness in well-worn territory for the genre. Loved every disgusting minute.

Yikes. Intriguing premise, but yikes. One of the hardest movies to watch I’ve seen in a while. Filled with some crazy twists, but the illogical character moves and cringe inducing circumstances drowned them out for me.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
