Bring Her Back 2025

Directed by Danny and Michael Philippou (the duo behind Talk to Me), Bring Her Back is a psychological horror film that explores the terrifying lengths a mother will go to for her child. The story follows two orphaned step-siblings, Andy and Piper, who are placed in the care of a new foster mother, Laura. While Laura initially appears loving, the children soon discover that she is performing dark occult rituals in their secluded home, attempting to resurrect her own deceased daughter. Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water) stars as the unhinged foster mother Laura, delivering a performance widely praised for its menacing vulnerability. She is joined by Billy Barratt and Sora Wong as the siblings fighting to survive, with Jonah Wren Phillips in a supporting role. The film has received positive reviews, holding a "Certified Fresh" rating of roughly 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have lauded the Philippou brothers for proving they are not "one-hit wonders," creating a "domestic nightmare" that relies on atmosphere and practical effects rather than cheap jump scares. Sally Hawkins’ performance is frequently cited as the film's anchor, transforming from a figure of sympathy into one of "deranged" horror. However, some reviewers felt the third act was slightly "muddled" compared to the tight narrative of Talk to Me, and a few found the "found footage" VHS segments to be an unnecessary stylistic choice that distracted from the main plot. Bring Her Back was released in theaters on May 30, 2025. It grossed approximately $19.3 million domestically and finished with a worldwide total of roughly $39.1 million. Against a budget of $15–$17 million, it was considered a moderate commercial success for A24. As of November 2025, the film is available to stream on Netflix in many regions. It can also be rented or purchased on major digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube. Read More
