Bring Her Back18

Directed by Danny Philippou, Michael Philippou | Australia | 2025 | 1h 44m | Starring Sally Hawkins, Billy Barratt, Mischa Heywood, Jonah Wren Phillips, Sora Wong

Following the death of their father, a brother and sister are introduced to their new sibling by their foster mother, only to learn that she has a terrifying secret. Hot on the heels of their breakout 2024 horror hit Talk To Me, the Philippou brothers return with another chilling descent into dread and derangement, this time starring Oscar-nominated actress Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water).

Reviews

‘Creepy as an ordinary day hell, this is one of the best movies of the year, horror or otherwise. Prepare your body for one of those thrillingly rare, all too real sensations…’
★★★★★
Nick Howells, London Evening Standard

‘A big hand to the Talk To Me directors for navigating the filmic equivalent of that difficult second album. An accomplished and disturbing work, with Sally Hawkins on startling form.’
★★★★
Jamie Graham, Empire Magazine

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
