2. Bring Her Back
In Bring Her Back, foster mother Laura agrees to take in orphaned step-siblings, Andy and Piper, after the sudden death of their father. Though Piper tries to settle in, Andy clashes with Laura, since she's trying to create a wedge between him and his sister. And when Andy learns Laura is fostering a dangerous boy called Ollie, he realises he and Piper need to leave as soon as possible.
It's apparent that the twisted horror is going to be a difficult watch, considering one of the first scenes involves Andy finding his father's body in the shower, covered in his own vomit.
However, the prologue is even more unsettling. Bring Her Back opens with a female prisoner in a dungeon, kneeling inside a circle made of chalk. Another woman can be seen recording other prisoners with a camcorder, while saying cryptic statements, like "Swallow the body" and "The time has come." As the prisoners scream hysterically, the woman with the camcorder reassures them, even when people in the background are being hanged.
The scene only lasts a minute, but it makes an immediate impression, since viewers will be trying to understand how this ties into Andy and Piper's dilemma.
