Bring Her Back

Aug 16, 2025

My Thoughts (Spoilers)

  • Watched Bring Her Back on Apple TV without knowing anything beforehand, just like with Weapons.
  • The movie was mainly about black magic, with a heavy and tense atmosphere. At first, it looked like a gory horror, but it turned out to be more about the bond between a caring brother and sister.
  • Piper was cute, which made me wonder if she was really blind.
  • The tension built around Andy being falsely accused made me feel sorry for him, especially when he died and it was revealed he had also been abused by his father.
  • The ending felt a bit weak, since the villain chose not to kill Piper for whatever reason, which undercut the suspense.
  • Still, overall it was enjoyable, though not as gory as expected.

Plot Summary (Spoilers)

  • Andy and his half-sister Piper lose their father and are placed in the care of Laura, a grieving foster mother.
  • Laura secretly practices black magic, hoping to resurrect her drowned daughter Cathy. She uses foster child Oliver, who is possessed, as part of the ritual.
  • Andy discovers the truth but is falsely accused and eventually killed by Laura.
  • Piper becomes the intended vessel for Cathy’s return, but Laura hesitates when Piper screams out like her daughter.
  • Piper escapes and is rescued, while Oliver collapses as the demon leaves him.
  • The police arrive, and Laura ends up cradling her daughter’s mutilated corpse in the pool as the film ends.
