The movie with the feeling of the year, "Go Back" is so unobtrusively disturbing that I wonder how Moviegoer's more abundant film can react ... If they are brave enough to see it at all. The latest part of the twin poison Australian directors Danny and Michael Filipo feel quite opposite to their hit "Talk to Me". When I looked at that movie in SundanceI commented that the vibrations they threw, reminded me of Early work on Sam Raimi. There was a more budget than Raimi's icon "The Evil Dead", but had a similar spook-A-Blast tone. In other words, "talk to me" was Fun Even when it was scary. There is no fun to have with "return". Although there are a few moments that can result in deliberate laughter (Philip's clearly a perverted sense of humor), the atmosphere here is so malicious and disturbing that you will find yourself like arguing in your place. If you have "talk to me" there was Raimi Sibes, "Return Back" remembers the days of the brutal new French limb. Not as dipped as, say, "Martyrs"But it has the same kind of attitude.

"We don't want to be afraid of something that is a horror movie. We want to accept that it's a horror movie and to be proud to be doing a horror movie," says Dani Filipo in notes on the "Back Back" press notes, and I think that may be the secret to Philip's success. Many directors seem to be ashamed to admit that they have made a horror movie (I have even seen some people involved in the recent box office hit. "Sinners"Try to claim it is no Really a horror movie, though it is a lot). Horror is a constantly popular genre, and yet it feels and dirty And shameful. Recognizing yourself as a horror is to admit that something is wrong with you, at least according to some people.

So these days, we get a lot of movies in the immediate vicinity of horror, made by people who claim to have Really Made is a serious drama with supernatural things that act as a metaphor for sadness or trauma. And "bring back" it could easily fall into these traps, as death and sadness are very much in the center of the narrative. And yet, the film is overwhelmed with horrible, awkward moments of horror film-some mysterious VHS granular stripes that show what can only be described as torture-filled rituals, continue to appear, and there is a moment of pure body horror that my audience has made it. I really don't want to overcome this job, because the fact is that "go back" is no For all. Wille has people completely excluded from what this movie sells. But if you can get in line with the unpleasant wavelengths of the film, you will witness more evidence that the Philippians is Horror filmmakers who really know what they are doing.

As "Bring Back" begins, teenager Andy (Billy Barat) and his little sister Pepper (Sora Wong) have just lost their father - death that makes them orphans. The brothers and sisters have a fun, real sweet relationship: pepper constantly shoots jokes at Andy's expense, while Andy is a kind and protected to her sister, which is low-view (she can only see forms). Andy will soon be 18 years old and may apply for pepper custody, but until that happens, children should go in foster care. Wendy (Sali-Ann Upton), a non-non-sympathetic social worker, mentions that there is a chance the couple will be separated, but Andy insists they remain together.

Brother and sister end up in the home of Laura (Sally Hawkins), radiated, hook -therapist who looks kind and generous ... at first. Hawkins is tasked with rising here, building a character we eventually see as evil And cute. We hate what she does while we also understand Why She does. It's tricky, surprisingly complex things, and Hawkins plays it perfectly, making Laura look like a distant "fun" relative; The one who is your personal favorite when you are a child, until you get older and see how damaged they are.

Andy and Pepper are surprised to find out that they are not the only children in the house: there is also Oliver (Ahon Wren Phillips), who does not speak and appear to be emotionally upset in a vague way. Sisters and sisters also learn immediately that Laura's daughter Katie recently died after drowning in the pool in the yard. You may be able to understand where all this goes on the basis of the title of the film alone, and yet, "Go Back" does not rush to set all his cards on the table. Instead, "bring back" is a slow combustion, allowing the moments of building characters to fill the gaps. We find out that Andy and his late father had no best relationship and that recent death had a serious impact on Andy in ways he did not want to reveal. Laura at first seems cute and useful ... Or she?

There is a prevailing sense of fear that practically stifles "return" and never permits. We are ready to expect something scary to happen at any moment, and the effect has us on the edge. Filmmakers are essentially playing us as a puzzle, while bringing us on a trip to hopeless horror, where the harsh, inevitable threat of death and accident colors everything.

Re -working with cinematographer Aaron McLinski, who also fired "Talk to me", Philippian got a lot of mileage from their location. Almost the whole film takes place in Laura's house, which seems to be widespread and claustrophobic at the same time. Rainy weather prevails throughout the story, giving the film a wet, moldy feeling reminiscent of one of the rot and decay and cracking. This only strengthens the feeling of discomfort, making it "turn it back" almost uncomfortable (it's a compliment because it is a feature, not a bug).

I imagine that some viewers will be a little disappointed with the culmination of the film, terribly though it may be. "Go back" finds a satisfactory, even emotional final to give us, though I wonder if it's a little too easy; too neat. Others may be frustrated that the philipouses deliberately leave us in the dark of some details, although I think this approach only strengthens things - Laura is pushing against the unrecognizable here, it only makes sense that some things will remain wrapped in mystery.

After all, your enjoyment (although it may not be the right word for such a deliberately dark film) on "Go Back" depends on what kind of horror you are in. If you long for fun excitement in the form of a roller coaster, you can leave the theater in funk. But if you like your horror dark, it means scary in ways you can't articulate, you're for wonderful uncomfortable treatment.
