The Terrifying Plot
Bring Her Back revolves around two half-siblings who face new challenges in their lives following their father’s death when they move in with their new foster mother. What begins as an emotional family drama quickly descends into darkness, blending suspense and horror in ways that will make your skin crawl.
The plot follows two half-siblings who find themselves orphaned and placed with Laura (Sally Hawkins), a seemingly caring foster mother with a devastating secret. As Andy (Billy Barratt) and his visually impaired younger sister Piper (Sora Wong) settle into their new home, they discover a terrifying ritual that threatens their very existence.
Sally Hawkins’ Career-Defining Performance
Sally Hawkins is most commonly known for playing heartwarming characters (like Paddington’s adoptive mother), but here, as the villain she is utterly terrifying. Critics have praised her performance as one of the best of her career, with Rotten Tomatoes’ consensus reading: “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”.
The two-time Oscar nominee brings depth to a character driven by grief and madness, creating one of horror cinema’s most memorable antagonists.
From YouTube to Horror Royalty
The Philippou brothers, also known as RackaRacka on YouTube, burst onto the horror scene with their 2023 debut Talk to Me, which became A24’s highest-grossing horror film ever. That film grossed over $92 million worldwide against a mere $4.5 million budget, proving these Australian twins are the real deal.
Written by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman, the horror film is jointly bankrolled by Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton under the banner of Causeway Films, with A24 handling worldwide distribution.

Not for the Faint-Hearted
Fair warning: this isn’t your typical jump-scare horror. The film is bleak, extremely visceral, unrelenting and really emotionally devastating. Critics have noted the intense body horror, disturbing rituals, and graphic violence that earned it an A-rating in many territories.
The Philippou brothers have created something that will stick with viewers long after the credits roll—equal parts psychological thriller and visceral horror experience.
