Why watch?
“This is a horror film made by horror fans. It’s a love letter to the tropes and the classics, and it’s an emboldened push forward into new territory. I could spout a thousand clichés about this movie, but I’ll settle on one – this is a movie that follows you home. It’s horror-drama done so well, you’ll feel it crawling on your skin (and on your mind) for days after viewing. I didn’t think I’d have a top horror film for the year by July but, in all honesty, Bring Her Back is going to be very hard to beat. And, if like me, you loved Talk to Me and came out of it thinking ‘Is it even possible they can ever top that film?’, I’ll leave you with the short and simple answer; Yes. And they absolutely have.”

From the directing duo who made their extraordinarily creepy debut Talk to Me, their second film follows a brother and sister who uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother.
When their father suddenly collapses and dies, Andy and Piper are sent to live at a new foster home. But while their foster mother is welcoming, something is most definitely not right and soon they become unwilling participants of ever more horrifying events and revelations.

Amongst the dread however, the film underscores the desparation of grief and mourning. But make no mistake, a thrillingly ghoulish horror this most definitely is. Watch out for Ollie...
