Bring Her Back
"Frankenstein," "The Monkey's Paw," and "Pet Sematary" - we have been dealing with death and grief, fictionally since we have been writing stories as people. We will continue to do so because it is what binds us together - the loss of friends and family and our own existential crises - we must all face our own deaths. Add "Bring Her Back" to the list. What's this one all about? Legally blind, Piper (Sora Wong) and her older half-brother Andy (Billy Barratt) tragically lose their father and are put into the foster care of a woman named Laura (Sally Hawkins). Turns out that Laura also had a blind daughter, who, you guessed it, died. You can SEE where this is going - see what I did there? Piper and Andy have a complex relationship but they are now very tight and they have a secret code word - grapefruit. An ironclad, never lie word for telling the truth. "Talk To Me" is a very tough act to follow. The Australian brothers, Danny and Michael Philippou are back, and they are bringing it again. It, being their brand of horror. Is "Bring Her Back" as good? Grapefruit. No, but it's good enough to land an entry here on the Marquee. There are some fresh and arresting visuals for you cinema nerds, and I think you will love them. Grapefruit. Catch it now in theatres.
