The Philippou brothers' latest film, Bring Her Back, delves into profound themes of grief and loss. Unlike their prior work, Talk to Me, which featured clear rules around spirit possession, Bring Her Back embraces ambiguity, adding to its horror. It centers on Laura, played by Sally Hawkins, who, after losing her daughter, disrupts another family in her pursuit of healing. Bringing in Andy and Piper, half-siblings mourning their father, she navigates the dark paths of resurrection through desperate measures. This stark pivot from typical domestic thrillers magnifies the intense emotional stakes at play and exemplifies a grotesque union of horror and familial anxiety.
The follow-up film, Bring Her Back, presents a darker exploration of grief and selfishness, diving deep into the consequences of desperation to resurrect the dead.
Sally Hawkins’ portrayal in Bring Her Back is striking, embodying a character whose grief and desperation lead her to threaten another family’s stability in her quest for closure.
