Bring Her Back

2025

Bring Her Back (2025) is a supernatural horror film directed by South Australian filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou.

Bring Her Back has 17-year-old Andy (Billy Barratt) and his visually impaired younger stepsister Piper (Sora Wong) taken into foster care after their father dies. They are told by the child protection worker that Laura (Sally Hawkins) is a brilliant foster mother; she’d worked as a counsellor for the agency for many years.

Laura, however, is a demented psycho.

Grieving the death of her daughter, Laura is attempting to resurrect Cathy—who’s body she’s keeping in a chest freezer—by using another boy (Oliver played Jonah Wren Phillips) she’s ostensibly fostering but is torturing and who is now, apparently, possessed of a demon.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
