Bring Her Back: release date, trailer, cast and everything we know about the A24 horror movie
Talk to Me directors are back with a brand-new horror movie.

After making their feature directing debut with the acclaimed horror movie Talk to Me (“white knuckled” horror movie that is now streaming on Netflix), Danny and Michael Philippou are teaming up once again with A24 for another horror movie, the 2025 new movie Bring Her Back.
Horror movies have been a specialty of A24. Among the notable titles are Heretic, the X trilogy (X, Pearl and MaXXXine), Ari Aster’s Hereditary and Midsommar, Men and Lamb. Bring Her Back hopes to earn its place with the best of those offerings.
