Roger Ebert

Despite its propensity for shock factor and supernatural child endangerment over narrative cohesion, “Bring Her Back” is fairly successful at dropping jaws (especially when it comes to one particularly bloody knife scene), and the suspense is sustained throughout the movie.

"There's a prevailing sense of dread practically smothering 'Bring Her Back,' and it never lets up. We are poised to expect something terrible to happen at any moment, and the effect has us on edge."

Within the idea that a second feature is a true proving ground, showing that filmmakers aren’t flash in the pan talents with just one great movie in them, Bring Her Back is a major success. Danny and Michael Philippou are legit, and their success here following Talk To Me echoes Ari Aster doing Midsommar after Hereditary and Jordan Peele crafting Us as his follow-up to Get Out.

The Hollywood Reporter

Bring Her Back works best on an experiential level. The Philippous key into the desperate emotional register of grief and everything, from the sound design to the score, help establish this anxious mood.

Variety

In 'Bring Her Back,' Sally Hawkins transforms into a mother figure so pushy and 'gregarious' that she gives you the cold creeps. The film is a majorly disturbing piece of horror that gets under your skin and troubles your dreams.

Michael Philippou and Danny Philippou present a disturbing film which will require even avid horror fans to mentally adjust to what is put on screen.

High On Films

"While the Philippous’s ability to craft a skin-crawling story that lasts long after the credits wrap is a sign of their authorial significance, there are enough hastily constructed narrative components of 'Bring Her Back' that it becomes frustrating."

IndieWire

Sally Hawkins deserves kudos for 'Bring Her Back,' but Danny and Michael Philippou's A24 horror movie is a rote genre spin on grief.
