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.

[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.

4/5

The Philippou brothers have crafted a deeply emotional, thought-provoking story around themes of grief and trauma, anchored by strong performances from Hawkins, as well as Barratt (Mary Poppins Returns) and Wong.

Hakwins’ performance is everything it should be; it’s not her fault that the script’s primary direction appears to have been to drag things out to feature length.

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.
