Bring Her Back

Grief, closure, moving on, these are all things we wish were easy. Whenever we lose someone that meant a lot to us, the pain is there and it just kind of eventually goes on. But sometimes people don't have that, and will do whatever it takes to get that feeling. With Bring Her Back the directors have brilliantly brought these themes to the big screen with a story that at first, seems like a horror flick we have all seen and are probably tired of, but begins to delve into a deeply tragic and emotional journey through the absolute lowest lows when it comes to closure and the failure to move on. The film uses disturbing visuals and these excellent performances from these actors to push the story and those themes along. The movie is definitely a slow burn but never felt slow. The different tones the movie juggles are also dealt with so well as in one scene you will see one of the most disturbing things in movies recently and then get very personal and emotional and it never feels like it stops to do this. The unpredictability of the film also is just great and it left me constantly on the edge of my seat as everything in the finale lead to a final image that had me holding back tears. Bring Her Back shows Danny and Michael Philippou as two of the most exciting presences in the horror field right now. To go from Talk To Me to this which is tonally just so different and do it so right is astounding. I cannot wait to see what else these guys have in store.
