There are many things that one should not do, lest they want their life to become a legit horror movie. Don’t watch weird video tapes. Maybe leave that strange book or ancient object alone. Avoid going to a cabin near a lake in the middle of nowhere. In fact, avoid small towns altogether. And please, please don’t do rituals to try to bring people back from the dead. That last one is how everyone ends up in mess in A24’s Bring Her Back, which boasts some very, um, intriguing trailers.
In them, we meet two kids who recently lost their family and end up in foster care. There, they meet their strange new foster mom and Oliver, another kid who also lost his family. She’s doing some strange ritualistic things to Oliver.
Why? Well, she seems to think that the spirit stays in the body for a while after death. And she thinks she can bring people back, like Cathy.
I dunno girl. As much as I wish I could bring back people I love who have died, this seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Those two new kids might want to find the nearest exit.
