The horror film Bring Her Back, released earlier this year, explores the chilling consequences of a mother's grief-fueled attempt to resurrect her deceased daughter. Directed by Danny and Michael Philippou, the film follows 17-year-old Andy and his blind stepsister Piper as they move in with Laura, a former counselor, and a mute boy named Oliver, after their father's passing.
However, Andy soon notices strange behavior from both Laura and Oliver. Laura reveals a dark plan to bring back her dead daughter, Cathy, using a demon named Tari who possesses Oliver. In a disturbing turn of events, Laura tries to drown Piper to complete the ritual. Andy and Piper discover the truth and try to escape, leading to a violent confrontation. Ultimately, Piper survives, Oliver collapses as the demon leaves, and Laura is left with her daughter's lifeless body as the police arrive.
Bring Her Back, now streaming exclusively on HBO Max, has been praised for its focus on character and atmosphere, blending grief and horror in unsettling ways. The film's haunting performances, particularly by Sally Hawkins as the complex and empathetic Laura, have resonated with audiences seeking a more emotionally charged horror experience.
