20 Awesome Recent Horror Movies You'll Never Watch Again

20. Bring Her Back

With their sophomore feature Bring Her Back, filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou persuasively proved that their electrifying debut Talk to Me was no mere fluke.

This almost unbearably intense supernatural horror film touts an Oscar-worthy central performance from Sally Hawkins as a grieving mother desperate to resurrect her late daughter, while rocking an exceptionally nasty, unsentimental tone that ensures it absolutely isn't for everyone.

More than a few reviews lambasted Bring Her Back for being "mean-spirited," and while the Philippou's uncompromising approach and generally unflinching, take-no-prisoners depiction of violence is refreshing, it also makes the film tough to sit through. Like, it's a lot.

There's so much dread oozing out of every pore of this movie that it's honestly hard to convince yourself to sit through it more than once. 

There's very little "fun" about Bring Her Back - this is a sad, harsh movie that pulls no punches and has little room for catharsis.
