A new, much longer trailer for Bring Her Back is here – and I have nightmares already.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, we don’t get the clearest sense of what’s going on – and that’s what makes it especially terrifying. A new foster child comes to live at a troubled woman’s (Sally Hawkins) home – but things are, uh, not what they seem.
We repeatedly cut to camcorder footage of a reanimated corpse, with Hawkins telling someone that the spirit stays in the body three months after death – so there’s plenty of time to bring her back . There’s also quite a bit of blood, a lot of whispering, way too many vessels for water (it’s a possession movie so I feel like a drowning scene is nigh), and a lot of forlorn children looking quite upset. Needless to say, I’ll be seated.
The story follows a brother (Billy Barratt) and sister (Sora Wong) who uncover a horrifying ritual in their foster mother’s (Hawkins) home. In the trailer, we see Hawkins cutting the hair off a child’s corpse, seemingly to be used in said ritual to bring her back from the dead.
We’re going to go out on a limb and say, judging by the trailer, that the whole resurrecting her from the dead thing doesn’t go very well and the person who comes back isn’t so much a person as it is some evil thing (a la Stephen King’s Pet Sematary). Sally-Anne Upton, Stephen Phillips, Liam Damons, and Jonah Wren Phillips also star.
