New Movie Dubbed 'Scariest Film of the Decade'

The writer recalls watching Hereditary on a plane in 2018 and feeling stunned and silent.

Despite the plane's noise and a stranger's head on their shoulder, the writer was left speechless and queasy.

Many people no longer enjoy traditional horror films. They prefer psychological terror instead.

Bring Her Back is a movie that delivers this kind of terror.

The film starts with Sally Hawkins' character staring at a new foster child, making the viewer feel uneasy.

It is revealed that Hawkins' character, Laura, lost her own child and is now fixated on the new foster child.

Hawkins' acting is very good, and she pressures the foster child's stepbrother into revealing secrets.

Laura goes through the stepbrother's phone and says she is a counselor, which is unsettling.

Hawkins' performance is nuanced, making the viewer feel both sympathy and revulsion for Laura.

The stepbrother, played by Billy Barratt, is a great part of the film, and his character raises the stakes.

The viewer is on the stepbrother's side and wants him to survive.

The film's directors, Danny and Michael Philippou, create unsettling moments, but the film has weaknesses.

One weakness is the overused storyline of characters not communicating with each other.

This frustration takes away from the subtle tension in the film.

The second weakness is that the film uses many common horror tropes, which can be too much.

The film tackles many dark topics, including cannibalism and child abuse, which can feel overwhelming.

There is a scene where a child eats their own flesh, and the entire room was shocked and silent.

Depicting such a disturbing scene without making the audience laugh is an achievement.

A friend of the writer closed their eyes during the second half of the film because it was too much.

The writer saw their friend close their eyes during a particularly disturbing scene.

If you are sensitive, you should avoid this film, but if you want a scary experience, you can watch it.
