Bring Her Back review

 


After the huge hit that was Talk To Me which released back in 2022 Directors and real life twins Danny and Michael Philippou are back this time with a deeply disturbing and un relenting horror masterclass. The story follows a brother and sister who after the death of their father are placed into a foster home with a seemingly perfect host played by Sally Hawkins. It's not long however before it comes clear that all is not as it seems and there is something truly demonic and ritual like going on. Bring Her Back is vastly different to Talk To Me in how it handles it's message of grief and how that can mold, shape and change a person. Sally Hawkins is incredible in her role and is easily the stand out here with a performance that is so emotional you can feel her pain and anguish. 

There's blood and gore a-plenty which is to be expected given the Director's past in their Youtube videos which were gore and practical effects in a bundence. Here it feels so grotestque and dark it's definitely not going to be for everyone as at times it does get rather vicious with nothing left to the imagintion in a movie that really does pack quite a punch..quite literally.


Bring Her Back is a deeply unsettling movie. There's this highly intense feeling throughout that naws away at you. It's full of incredible performances like Sally Hawkins emotional grieft strikken foster mom but special mention must go to Sora Wong who plays the younger visual emapred foster child. Her performance is instantly memorable and iconic and worthy of being held to the highest level when it comes to award season. Between this and Talk To Me Danny and Michael Philippou are quickly solidying themselves as quite the horror Director duo and long may that continue. Horror brilliance indeed!

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
