Bring Her Back

What to Know

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.

Wendy Ide 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. Oct 7, 2025 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal Bring Her Back contains enough gore to swamp a blood bank. But it also features a performance by Sally Hawkins that may be the best of the year, or even her career, Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Romney Financial Times 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Sarah Gopaul 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. Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Andrew Kendall Stabroek News 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. Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Tatsam Mukherjee The Wire (INDIA) What would you do, if there was the slightest chance you could bring a loved one back from the dead? What would you sacrifice? Your honour, your sanity? Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Trevor Certainly a hard watch if you can’t deal with body horror. I liked the plot and cinematography. Good young/ child actors. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review Leo E No words can describe this movie, except maybe, satanic cult ritual and dark plot twists mixed with heavy emotional family dynamics and beautiful cinematography. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review mat slow to start, but picks up half way and doesn't slow down Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Vincent R 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Kari Interesting story line but I like even more jumpy moments and scare. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Wanye Really good horror watch, would’ve loved it to be a little longer to tie up some loose ends Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
