Let’s get this straight, because apparently, some people can’t handle a simple Google search 🙄: You wanna know if “Bring Her Back” has a post-credits scene? The answer is NO. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Go home. 🚪Seriously, what are you still doing here?
Warning: Spoilers ahead! Proceed at your own risk. Or don’t. I don’t care. 🤷♀️
So, the Phillipou twins, fresh off their “Talk To Me” success (which, let’s be honest, was only mildly terrifying 👻), decided to grace us with another cinematic masterpiece… or something. They were almost directing a Street Fighter movie! Can you imagine? Instead, they chickened out and went back to what they know best: low-budget horror that makes you question your life choices. 🎬 The reviews are in, and… well, they’re not as glowing as “Talk To Me.” But hey, at least they tried, right? 😅
Starring Sally Hawkins (who clearly needed a paycheck 💰), Billy Barratt (poor kid) and some newbie named Sora Wong, “Bring Her Back” is all about gore and unsettling vibes. But it also leaves a ton of stuff unexplained. Like, seriously, what even happened? 🤔 Let’s dive into this mess and try to make sense of it. Good luck with that! 🤞
“Bring Her Back” Ending “Explained” (Good Luck With That)
If you thought the foster care system was sunshine and rainbows 🌈, think again! “Bring Her Back” is here to crush your hopes and dreams. We’ve got Piper (Sora Wong), the blind stepsister, and Andy (Billy Barratt), the overprotective stepbrother. Their dad kicks the bucket 🪣, and suddenly they’re in foster care. Andy, being the responsible one (eye roll), wants to become Piper’s guardian. Easy peasy, right? Wrong! Enter Sally Hawkins as Laura, the foster mom from hell. 😈
Laura seems nice at first (as all villains do 🐍), but red flags are popping up faster than you can say “child endangerment.” She’s got another kid, Oliver, who’s basically a feral mute child 🐺. She’s all over Piper like white on rice. She lets the kids get drunk after their dad’s funeral because, you know, FUN! 🎉 And then she pees on Andy while he sleeps. 💦 Yes, you read that right. This movie is officially bonkers. If you haven’t figured out that Laura is the bad guy by now, you’re probably watching the wrong movie. 🤦♀️
The big “reveal” is that Laura is doing some Satanic ritual she learned from a VHS tape. 📼 Apparently, you can just buy those at the local Blockbuster down in Australia. The goal? Resurrect her dead daughter, Cathy. You need three bodies for this: Cathy’s (chilling in a freezer 🧊), Piper’s (the new soul vessel, because blind = Cathy), and Oliver’s (the soul storage unit, hence the muteness and insatiable hunger 🤤). The movie doesn’t bother with details, but apparently, the soul vessel needs to die the same way as the deceased, which means drowning. 🏊♀️ But first, Laura needs to frame Andy for attacking Piper. Because why not? 🤷♂️
Andy, despite his troubled past, tries to warn Wendy (the caseworker) about Laura’s shenanigans. Wendy and Andy go to Laura’s house, where Oliver is having a snack… on the furniture. 🪑 He’s eaten everything! He even takes a bite out of Laura. 😬 Wendy sees Laura bleeding, and Laura loses it, demanding to finish her ritual. When Wendy and Andy threaten to expose her, Laura runs them over with her car. 🚗💨 Wendy is dead. Andy gets drowned in a puddle. 💧 So much for being responsible! 🙄
Laura proceeds with the ritual, which involves Oliver eating Cathy’s corpse pieces. 🤢 Laura then tries to drown Piper in the pool. But Piper calls out “Mom!”, and Laura has a change of heart (sort of). Piper escapes and gets rescued. Oliver vomits up some brown goo (the soul, I guess) and returns to normal. 🤮 Laura cradles Cathy’s body in the pool as the cops raid her house. The end. 🎬 Seriously, that’s it? 😒
Does “Bring Her Back” Have a Post-Credits Scene? (Seriously, Stop Asking)
As I already said, NO. There’s nothing. Go home. Get a life. 🎮 Those expecting a twist or a tease for the Phillipous’ next project will be sorely disappointed. Maybe go watch “Talk to Me” again, because this movie ain’t it. 🙅♀️
Wait, Is That It? (Yep, Sadly)
The biggest surprise of “Bring Her Back” is that it’s exactly what you expect. A grieving mom goes crazy and tries to resurrect her kid by killing other kids. Groundbreaking! 🙄 The movie doesn’t bother to develop Laura’s character much, other than her being a counselor. And Andy and Piper’s backstory is just thrown in for shock value. 🙄
And what’s up with this ritual? How does it even work? 🤔 Why is Oliver so hungry? Why does he only eat a tiny piece of Cathy? And if he’s so important, why did Laura leave him alone with Andy? Plot holes galore! 🕳️
Maybe these questions were answered in deleted scenes. Or maybe the filmmakers just didn’t care. 🤷♀️ “Bring Her Back” seems more interested in being creepy than making sense. Either way, it’s gory enough to make you squirm. 🐛 Let’s hope the Phillipous’ next movie is a little less… meh. 😐
