'Bring Her Back's Ending Is So Terrifying Because It's So Real

There are few horrors more imaginable in this life than grieving one's child.

Set in the same cinematic universe as 2022's Talk to Me, Bring Her Back is the sophomore film by Australian twins Danny and Michael Philippou. It centers on two teen step-siblings who, having suddenly lost their father, move in with a new foster mom who may or may not be conducting an occult ritual in her home. Bring Her Back is incredibly thematically dense down to its whirlwind, devastating ending.Here's how to begin making sense of it all.
