Bring her back / A late work night takes a bad turn
Manage episode 523211888 series 3606402
A foster home that seems cozy, a sweet caregiver who’s a little strange right from the beginning, and two siblings just trying to survive—this week Esme and Laura dive into Bring Her Back, the kind of horror that crawls under your skin without ever needing a jump scare. We tease apart how grief becomes the real villain, how “kindness” can have ulterior motives, and why this story feels way too human to shake off.
We break down the movie’s pressure points: the forced “closure” at the funeral, the subtle gaslighting that corners Piper by using her blindness as an advantage, and the unsettling truth about Ollie hiding in plain sight. Yep—salt rings, hair from the dead, creepy VHS tapes, and a whole lot of obsession. We chat about Andy’s sadly wrong choices, those chilling confessions, and why the freezer moment hits like a slow-motion nightmare rather than a twist.
Our verdict? Bring Her Back is social horror with bite—foster care, disability, power, and the kind of adult who can rewrite a kid’s reality. We compare it to Talk to Me (same creators, totally different flavor) and debate the scare-score for hardcore horror fans versus the “I sleep with a night-light” crowd.
Then we hand the mic to our guest Jorge for a real-life scare: tall, shadowy figures at the workplace that was once upon a time an old crematory site, unexplained flames, and a video that refused to save—because of course it didn't. A perfect reminder that sometimes the living and the… not-so-living like to cross paths at the worst moments.
Hit play for the full breakdown, the chills, and the lingering “wait… what?” moments. And don’t forget to share, subscribe, and tell us: who do you think the real monster was?
