4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Some scenes are so deeply terrifying that I have to fight the instinct to look away.
- Leo PetterssonSwedish: aftonbladet.se »
-
4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Disturbing video footage, occult rituals, and children who suffer terribly. "Bring Her Back" ranks so high on the how-fucked-up scale that you'd think the film was Western European from sometime in the 2000s, when French extreme horror paralyzed genre fans with nihilistic bodily violence.

-
4 / 5
Translated from swedish: A deeply unsettling horror film about the betrayal of the adult world.
- Oscar WesterholmSwedish: sydsvenskan.se »
-
4 / 5
Translated from swedish: A well-crafted piece of work within the horror genre.
- Linus AndersenSwedish: cinetaste.se »
-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: An entertaining film with a fantastic Sally Hawkins serves up splatter, magic, suspense, and eerie elements in a package that's as beautiful as it is dreamlike. However, this isn't a film for those who are interested in overly detailed explanations.

3 / 5
Translated from swedish: Danny and Michael Philippou's latest creation is being marketed as this year's best horror film, but the advance hype promises more than the movie delivers.
- Nina MorbySwedish: gp.se »
-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: "Bring Her Back" succeeds in the delicate balancing act of conveying a heartfelt story through horror elements without either feeling undermined by the other. The warmth behind the film is evident, but for their next project, I'd love to see them step outside their comfort zone a bit more.

-
2 / 5
Translated from swedish: Children's blood splatters left and right as the Philippou brothers test how much violence a bored summer movie audience can handle.
