As October approaches, it’s the perfect time to start planning your horror movie marathon. No matter if you enjoy classic slasher films, spooky possession stories, monster movies, or gothic tales, there’s a new movie coming to HBO Max next month that you won’t want to skip.
A24’s latest hit, *Bring Her Back*, is a truly frightening film centered on grieving siblings, Andy and Piper. Directors Danny and Michael Phillipou don’t hold back, creating a horror movie that’s deeply unsettling and emotionally impactful. One critic described it as more than just scary-it’s an experience that stays with you. The *New York Times* praised the directors, suggesting they aim to evoke not only fear, but also genuine heartbreak.
What Makes Bring Her Back So Terrifying?
Like many A24 films, *Bring Her Back* slowly builds suspense and dread, taking its time to reveal the core horror. It’s a long, captivating watch that keeps you hooked from beginning to end, thanks to incredible performances by Sally Hawkins, Billy Barratt, and Jonah Wren Phillips, and a plot full of unexpected twists.
The movie opens with 17-year-old Andy finding his father dead. Just weeks away from turning 18, Andy and his younger stepsister, Piper, are taken in by Laura (Sally Hawkins), a former therapist who also cares for another foster child, Oliver, and has a quirky personality. A creepy and unsettling feeling develops quickly, as Laura and Oliver become increasingly strange. One particularly disturbing scene shows Andy trying to connect with Oliver, who doesn’t speak. Andy makes apples slices for them, but Oliver is more interested in the knife. However, *Bring Her Back* isn’t just about shocking moments, which are impressively achieved with practical effects. The film’s central horror is completely unexpected, and it’s rare for a modern movie to deliver such a genuinely surprising ending. *Bring Her Back* explores not only supernatural terror, but also themes of grief, inherited trauma, and the complexities of family-and the deep impact these things have on our lives.
