Bring Her Back (May 30th, 2025) • Page 2

Yeah this wouldn’t be ideal. It’s just the former tho.

 

Thank you both!

 

My main problem with both this and TTM is at some point, a character does something wildly stupid. Like the mom in TTM lets the main character, who’s been acting erratic and basically caused her son to be possessed, to just be alone in a hospital room with him. In this, the adoption lady is like “What’s this? She’s brutally abusing children and has a dead body in her home? Let’s go check it out without telling anyone else about it because surely the mom is going to be totally chill about this.”

 

I absolutely loved this, the whole group I went with was speechless walking out. Phillipous have a fantastic career ahead of them, the kid who played Andy was incredible too

 

how the heck did you convince an entire group of people to go with you to see this, my friends would never haha

 

majority of us were big Talk to Me fans, the only one who wasn't was a pretty late join to replace someone who got sick and he was curious about it. the Philipous are having a huge moment over here, we love to see Aussie directors making bangers

 

buncha sickos

 

Tbf they'd established she'd known the Hawkins character for a long, long time and generally didn't trust the kid, so I didn't have a hard time with this.

Really enjoyed this as someone who likes their horror movies nasty, mean and under two hours.

My favourite part of the screening was when Hawkins punched the sleeping child and a lady in my audience exclaimed "excuse me?!"

 

I was so immersed in this movie I fully forgot Hawkins is not actually Australian and nor is the kid who played Andy apparently. impressive stuff given how little effort most non-Aussie actors put in when they're doing our accent

 

The Sally Hawkins role felt like a twisted echo of her character in Mike Leigh's brilliant Happy-Go-Lucky, where she plays a genuinely caring and nice children's teacher.

 

A truly miserable time at the movies. Great stuff.

 

There’s an ARG dark web site where Laura got the video and there’s a bunch of other videos/things for sale on there. Someone made a thread

 

Really liked Talk To Me. Thought this was fine. Hawkins was great.

 

Feel bad movie of the year. Ending reminded me so much of Martyrs for some reason

 

Spot on. I mimicked some of her lines on the way home from the theater and freaked out my sister. It's alright love, you can talk to me... give him a kiss... on the lips... it's custom." haha so creepy, great performance.

 

The fucking knife scene though

 

I enjoyed this movie. Poor Andy, though ): The knife scene wasn’t as bad for me as Ollie breaking his teeth on the counter lol

 

I loved Talk to Me but I thought this was a considerable step up. Incredible work.
