'Bring Her Back' Review: The Philippou Brothers’ Horror Follow-Up to 'Talk to Me' Is Even More Devastating Than Its Predecessor

In 2022, Danny and Michael Philippouimmediately became horror directors to watch with Talk to Me, a haunting film about grief that ended up becoming the highest-grossing horror film in A24’s history. With Talk to Me, the feature-length debut of the Philippou brothers, the duo found a striking combination of unshakeable imagery and jarring moments, all while telling a story of loss and mourning. It was scary for sure, but what really got under the viewer’s skin was the way the film handled the trauma of losing someone so integral to yourself that there was no limit to what one would do to get them back, even if for just a few fleeting minutes.
