“Take her back” comment: Sally Hawkins is the evil horror of psychological stimulation

The rise of the film production duo Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou (aka Rackaracka) are really outstanding. The Australian Brothers began exploring a love of stunts, wonders and storytelling via Facebook videos, and then YouTube, they debuted in 2023 with the terrifying and frightening Talk to me. The haunted portable thriller not only praises critics but also awesome audiences, which makes it a real box office. Now, they return with a dull sophomore effort, Take her back.

like Talk to metheir follow-up is a horror movie about grief, once focused on the teenage protagonist who is familiar with the topic. This time, screenwriters Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman Talk to me, Combining the complexity of empathy, pain and body horror into Take her backwhich makes it more noisy but more mature than the previous one.

But don't be afraid. Sally Hawkins, a two-time Academy Award nominee in this movie Take her back Just as frightening as the first of the Philips brothers…and perhaps even more so.

British actress roles include a sweet mom Paddington Go to the marine life with a lover who is receiving The shape of watermixing together with shocking earnestness and intensity, falling into fear. exist Take her backshe plays a foster mother to two recently orphan half-siblings.

The young Piper (newcomer Sora Huang) is partially seen, but fearlessly exploring the world around her. Her older half-brother Andy (Billy Barratt) is even more hesitant, perhaps because he sees horrors she can’t imagine, like how her father died.

She looks like a beam of light when they show up at the cozy country cabin of new foster mom Laura (Hawkins). Like her heroine Luckyshe dressed in bright colors and a bright smile, and was more enthusiastic about the children who were afraid or scarred at her doorstep. But in her cheerful tendency, Laura is also fighting grief, losing her daughter a year ago.

It seems she covers up her pain by caring for other children in need, including the weird Ollie (Jonah Wren Phillips), who stares coldly at his new adopted siblings, but won't say a word. Audiences’ perception of Andy’s view of Laura’s view of much of the film, that is, her mother’s warm exterior walls obscured the cruel streak. But even that suspicious teenage boy could not imagine the horror that he and his siblings were in the store.

Co-directed Philippous draws inspiration from his own sad experiences, exploring this incredible emotion through horror twists, nerve-transformed blood and roaring religious horror roars. Some mysterious things happen in Laura's home as the trailer makes fun of it. Wisely, just like them Talk to me, The Philippou Brothers are not explained by the roots of the horror story. Instead, we (like the teenagers who are bothered by it) are uncertainty with fear and urgency. It is the feeling that you feel scary in your bones that is something wrong, but you can't explain it clearly to get help. Even if you can, who will trust you?

This feeling captured by Laura (and the foster care system that respects her) reflects the inevitable feeling of sadness. Philippous then worked harder on this hurt and surreal bruise. In mourning, some of the losses felt so great that it was hard to understand, and the world around us felt impossible and strange. So for Andy (and the less-degree flute blower) in Laura's strange realm, not only was he upset in the atmosphere, but his experience of sadness emotionally was real, but Philippous had compassion for their villains, making her pain and pain and need to continue her plan to continue her plan. Laura is Take her back, Sorrow is the torture of the children she cared for, the villain who turned her from mom into a monster.

Hawkins shows Laura's sides as she faces the intentional Andy. For a moment, she was almost sweet and sweet as she smiled and played with Piper. But in other cases, the guardian tone she used with Ollie was shocking. The manic expression was in her eyes as she lay on Piper's face, then she blinked at Andy as if he was a shocking complicity. When she pissed with a locked door and a bucket of urination at night, her sure stare was something horrible at night. Hawkins is a long-time champion performer who excels here, tends to incorporate his mother's joy and absolute pain with breathtaking ferocity.

Hawkins is Laura's power of nature. But incredibly, the Philippou Brothers found young actors who could match her presence on screen. Barratt, recently playing the young Dimitri Craven: Hunterwhile opposing Laura of Hawkins, shoulders the emotional weight of the movie and has an enviable job.

Andy, nearly 18, is in an awkward space between childhood and adulthood, and Barratt's body reflects this, full of barbaric power and gentle embarrassment. He changed his weight in a scene where Andy felt unsolicited. His smile flickered in frustration, revealing his shiny braces, making him look younger. But when threatened, he was able to raise his head with a manly rage – Laura would use it on him.

Piper, by contrast, is full of vitality and happiness. Wong has a radiant charm, whether she is playing sports with friends or shocking her brother. Wong is effortless and charming in her first screen role. The breeze (or, if it's elastic) she brings to Piper makes the climax of the movie even more terrifying, because the young girl is basically a princess who doesn't realize it's not a castle, it's not a queen. This is a nest with an evil witch waiting.

More notable, however, is the performance of Jonah Wren Phillips. As Laura said, Phillips said, there was little vocal expression from Phillips, leading to selective betrayal. Instead, he reflects the abyss through his long and hard gaze. As the film progresses, Laura's secrets emanate, Phillips' character becomes very physical, demanding prop work, makeup for disfigured prosthetics, and body horrors that work due to his commitment and the dedication of the Philippou Brothers to the actual impact.

Take her back Violent scenes are not only bloody. They are audible and visual attacks and therefore have tactile sensations. The metal sound on the teeth or the tightening of wood is so precise that you can almost feel it. This collides with seamless visuals, Phillips’ unique performance, creating a new idol. Laura might scare you, Andy might be sad, but Ollie will follow you home and bother you.

All of this says Take her back extraordinary. For those who found out Talk to me It’s frightening that this follow-up will be thrilled with heartbreaking heartache and body horror stories. But phillips gets deeper, showing a character-oriented drama filled with spiritual horror and religious horror. That pleasing combination is not only a horrifying one, but a profound movie.

Sadness is a huge emotion that hits like a wave. This is lost. It ruined. It caught us off guard. Take her back Capture all these sad elements and more.

I also held my breath and cried as I gasped and screamed at Philip's latest news. Although they warned critics and audiences, their new film was “bleak”, I found it beautiful. Besides stories of psychological torture, physical torture and murder, Take her back It also offers a story of love beyond death and how to become a double-edged sword.
