Bring Her Back (2025)

Following the death of their father, a blind girl and her teenage brother are placed in foster care and subsequently adopted by an eccentric woman (Sally Hawkins, in top form) along with an odd mute boy. I won't give anything more away, although the poster does a lot of heavy lifting. It starts out promising, gradually petering out by the end. Not as powerful as the Philippou brothers' debut feature, Talk to Me, although it sticks in your head for other reasons.

Talk to Me (2022)

A girl visits a party where the main attraction is a mummified hand that temporarily possesses the individual. The only catch is that the connection must be severed within 90 seconds, or else risk permanent consequences.

It's a fascinating concept ripe for exploring deeper into the human psyche, punctuated by moments of true terror. I could totally see casual demonic possession becoming a sort of TikTok trend among the disillusioned youth, eager to seek the latest "high" or fix. This was definitely one of the more memorable horror premises in recent memory.
