In recent years, Australian horror filmmakers have produced a wave of impressive films, culminating in the arrival of 'Bring Her Back' by directors Danny and Michael Philippou. This film delves into deep psychological horror with Sally Hawkins portraying Laura, a foster mother whose dark intentions become progressively clearer. The plot revolves around two teens, Piper and Andy, who face the tragic loss of their father and are thrust into Laura's disturbing household. The film is characterized by its atmosphere of dread, complemented by Hawkins' complex performance, blending emotions of neediness and longing.
'Bring Her Back is lighter on thrills and spills for the midnight movie and heavy with thick, abject horror and despair, featuring an intensely disturbing performance from Sally Hawkins as a foster mother from hell.'
'Hawkins' performance is coy, evasively dancing between light and heavy emotions; trying to nail down exactly what's wrong with Laura is like trying to pin down water with a knife.'
