Two-time Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (THE SHAPE OF WATER) delivers a profound, if not deeply deranged performance in the domestic nightmare BRING HER BACK, the latest from Australian filmmaking twins Danny and Michael Philippou (2022’s TALK TO ME). This unsettling mystery-thriller tells the tale of a brother and sister who uncover a terrifying, gruesome ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother.

“Horrific perfection.” (Chicago Reader)

“The filmmakers want to jolt folks, for sure. But they also want to bring you to a place where the emotional after effects of that juddering linger long after the jump scares have faded away.” (Rolling Stone)

“Sally Hawkins is a boundlessly talented actor, and it’s fun to watch her turn those powers to evil by playing a former counselor who understands children so well that she’s fantastically good at manipulating them in pursuit of her grand scheme.” (New York Magazine / Vulture)

“In the devilish hands of Australian filmmaking brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, evil has been concentrated into an exceptionally and impressively nasty 104 minutes.” (Globe and Mail)

“I’m not sure what happened to the Australian twins Danny and Michael Philippou that explains why their horror movies are swollen with grief. And I don’t need to know. What matters is how expertly, and jarringly, the Philippous show us how grief feels.” (Los Angeles Times)
