Rated 18
Spoiler Free
Sometimes a horror film comes along which makes time stop, which puts your thoughts in a horrible stasis, pressed hard into your seat. Bring Her Back is one of those films.
Film is about emotion- being made to feel something via the medium and genre you choose. Happy, sad and my favourite, scared. There’s probably more feelings but I’m a basic bitch. Scared is my favourite because it is the hardest emotion to elicit from me. Even with supernatural elements Bring Her Back is grounded in reality, and that's what the killer is.
Bring Her Back isn’t a slow burn so much as a terrifying exercise in how to ratchet up fear and dread with your arsehole sucked in so hard it’s in danger of swallowing the sofa. The tension, awkward, weird and sinister creep in and are at boiling point; you're almost screaming for the violence to start just to release it all with some lovely blood.
Then the carnage does erupt and you’ll regret ever thinking that way. It's horrifying, stomach churning, believable cruelty and horror on a level way beyond its contemporaries. A story told immaculately, a story you don’t need to know because you're going to see the film.
Bedsit it?
If you like horror, if you really like proper horror, you need to see Bring Her Back. I have not seen a horror film as uncomfortable, relentless and clever since Martyrs. That is a compliment, this film will stick with you. 9/10
