Bring Her Back Christian Review

Okay, so imagine a film that talks about pain, grief, and loss—but in such an unsettling way that your inner faith will literally shake. Bring Her Back is the name of this film. It begins like any emotional drama—a mother, Laura, loses her little daughter and then adopts two orphaned siblings. But as the story unfolds, that grief slowly turns into dark obsession. And not just emotionally dark—actual spiritual darkness. Like black magic, rituals, and the whole “I’ll do anything to bring her back” thing.

Now all this may sound like classic horror, but the catch here is-this time the film does not use horror just to scare. It actually explores in a bold way those things about which the Bible treats very clearly. Necromancy, contacting the dead, sorcery- Deuteronomy 18:10-12 is absolutely straight-forward: STAY AWAY. But the film makes those things the emotional core of the story. Meaning if your faith is not strong, then this film can manipulate your heart in the name of grief.

The problem is not just this but all this is shown—the problem is that the film does not offer redemption anywhere. There is no godly angle to healing, no prayer, no community support. Only desperation, isolation and wrong paths. Andy (who is one of the orphaned siblings) brings a little light to the story, with his bravery and care for his sister—but even that light does not lead anywhere. No real hope, no divine breakthrough. Just a spiritual void.

If you look at it one way, this film can work as a warning—it shows what happens when a person wants to take control of his own life and death. Like Ecclesiastes 3:1–2 says, there is a time for everything, and the decision of life and death is only in the hands of God. But if you are easily influenced, especially in the younger audience, then this movie is definitely not for you.

Ending? Just a heavy sinking feeling. No deliverance, no peace—just fear and regret. It’s like they dragged you into a spiritual war zone and then left you there. And if your faith is not anchored, it can be difficult to get out.

Rated R film—disturbing imagery, death of children, horror elements that prick the soul more than the eyes. So, if you are a strong believer, and watch it with discernment, then you may understand why God told us to stay away from the occult. But honestly? This film can be spiritually damaging for most people. It doesn’t build faith—it tests it. And not everyone is ready for that kind of test.

So… do you want to watch it? At your own risk. It will affect both your heart and spirit.
