Bring Her Back (2025) is an Australian supernatural horror film directed by the Philippou brothers—Danny and Michael—who previously delivered the chilling hit Talk to Me (). The story centers on orphaned step-siblings, 17‑year‑old Andy and his blind younger sister Piper, who move in with their new foster mother, Laura (portrayed by Sally Hawkins) . Soon they discover that Laura is conducting sinister occult rituals in a desperate attempt to resurrect her drowned daughter
What unfolds is a slow‑burn psychological thriller infused with disturbing supernatural elements and unnerving body horror. Reviewers praise Hawkins’s performance for turning maternal warmth into something deeply sinister, and the film’s unsettling atmosphere draws comparisons to elevated horror like Hereditary . With strong critical reception—holding an 89 % on Rotten Tomatoes—and A24 backing its U.S. release, it reinforces the Philippou brothers as modern horror auteurs
