A24’s Bring Her Back continued the studio’s streak of powerful, emotionally charged horror films this year. The film, directed by Danny and Michael Philippou, follows their acclaimed Talk to Me with a quieter but more affecting story that blends grief and horror in unsettling ways.
Bring Her Back Movie Plot
The film follows 17-year-old Andy and his blind stepsister, Piper, who move in with Laura, a mysterious former counselor who also cares for a mute boy named Oliver, after their father passes away. However, Andy notices odd behavior from both Laura and Oliver. Soon, Laura reveals a dark plan to bring her deceased daughter, Cathy, back using a demon named Tari, who possesses Oliver. She tries to drown Piper to complete the ritual. Andy and Piper discover the truth and try to escape, and after a violent confrontation, Piper survives, Oliver collapses as the demon leaves, and Laura is left with her daughter’s corpse as the police arrive.
When & Where To Watch Bring Her Back?
Bring Her Back is now streaming exclusively on HBO Max. The film has reached a wider audience eager to experience one of the most haunting stories of 2025. Its arrival ties in neatly with Halloween season, and the film leans harder into emotion, with Sally Hawkins giving a haunting performance as Laura, a woman whose kindness hides something far more unsettling.
