Talk to Me was a bit overrated, but the Philippou brothers redeem themselves with Bring Her Back. The horror bits in particular are way more effective, and there are some properly gruesome and memorable scenes here. If the drama had been a tad more consistent, this could've been one of the best horror films in years.
The performances are solid, the setup is interesting, and everything related to Oliver's character is fantastic. Hawkins' character, on the other hand, was somewhat annoying, and her backstory didn't add much. A shorter runtime and slightly more pointed dramatic angle would've done this film a lot of good, but that doesn't erase all the lovely gruesomeness on display. Horror fans rejoice!
