Horror Filmmakers Tease “Bring Her Back” as Next Shock Fest
Australian twin directors Danny and Michael Philippou, fresh off their breakout film “Talk to Me,” are hyping their upcoming horror feature “Bring Her Back.” Produced by A24 and starring Sally Hawkins, the movie promises a psychologically intense experience, blending possession elements with a “psycho-biddy” twist. Hawkins plays a grieving foster mother who attempts a supernatural return for a lost child—a departure from her usual gentle roles. Early glimpses feature unnerving séance sequences and gritty emotional stakes. Horror fans, intrigued by the Philippou brothers’ unique flair, anticipate an unsettling, character-driven journey. Slated for a late-May release, “Bring Her Back” is shaping up as a must-watch for those who crave atmospheric, psychologically charged scares.
What this means for you:
If you’re a horror enthusiast, mark your calendar—this film might satisfy your appetite for fresh, unconventional terror.
Film buffs can track A24’s release schedule—this studio often champions innovative, smaller-budget projects with big creative impact.
In the meantime, revisit the directors’ prior film “Talk to Me” or Hawkins’ dramatic work to appreciate the contrast they’ll bring.
