1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Great per flick with benoshe Ben good morning. This doesn't

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to pass itself off as a sequel

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: in any way, but there is a connection to another

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: movie that you really liked, doesn't that? Yes, So Bring

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Her Back is a new Ossie horror film from the

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Philippoo brothers, Danny and Michael Philippoo, who have Hollywood at

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: their feet right now. So they released back in twenty

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: twenty two, they released another horror flick called Talk to Me,

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: which I really liked it at the time. It was

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: low budget but really really well done. And so this

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: is not technically a sequel, but it does explore a

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: lot of the same themes of demonic possession and you know,

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: sort of sort of things speaking to you from beyond

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: the grave, that kind of stuff. So from that perspective

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: of their kind of companion films, if not necessarily sequels.

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: And so the Philippoo brothers, so they started life as YouTubers.

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: They got mega famous on YouTube, millions of followers, but

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: it's probably unfair to call them YouTubers. They'll probably aspiring

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: filmmakers who didn't have a platform for their films, so

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: put them on YouTube and so these were kids, you know,

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: they were twins from Adelaide who were in their teens

22
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: making you know, sort of their own version of Star

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Wars or Harry Potter with incredible special effects and all

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: their mates involved. And so they wrapped up millions of

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: views on YouTube and came to the attention of film

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 1: studios and they thought, you know, let's give these guys

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: a crack. They made Talk to Me. It was a

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: huge hit around the world. It won a ton of

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: actor awards with a no name cast, it won everything

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: very unusual horror, like a four million budget or something

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: very cheaply made. And then it was also a big

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: hit internationally. So A twenty four, which is you know,

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: one of the most sort of prestigious indie film houses

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: and distributors in America, picked up the film released it

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: in America, and at the time, back in twenty twenty two,

36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: it was the highest grossing horror film that A twenty

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: four had ever released. And so they've done some stuff

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: with with all of the big guys like Ariasta and

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: all of these kind of like the new generation of

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: scary movie directors, and so they obviously saw a lot

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: of potential in the Philippo Twins and so got on

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: board for this film as well, and they turned down

43
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: a ton of offers. So they were going to do

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: a remake of Street Fighter, the video game adaptation, and

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: they had a lot of projects that Hollywood was keen

46
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: to get them to sign on the dotted line, and

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: they're like, no, we want to make this film that

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: we had already had in mind that we've been working

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: on for years. Not only that, we're going to refuse

50
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: to make it in America where you would like us

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: to make it. Instead, we're going to make it back

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: in South Australia. God for them with that extra kind

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: of I guess muscle that A twenty four provided. They

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: were like, well, well, let's talk about casting guys, because

55
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: you don't just have to use no names. Maybe we

56
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: can help you cast someone, you know, with a bit

57
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: more sort of international appeal. So they have got two

58
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: time Oscar nominees Sally Hawkins real yeah, which so you

59
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: know she probably thought that, you know, sort of hooking

60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: up with the fish in the shape of water was

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing she's going to do in her career.

62
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: No much weirder is in bring her back. But to

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: think that they got Sally Hawkins in the bush of

64
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: South Australia to make a horror film is incredible. It's

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: a great thing for Australin and filmmaking. Now, all that said,

66
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: I will say to everybody listening today, if you're a

67
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: little bit squeamish about gory scenes on screen, this is

68
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: not the movie for you, because it is some of

69
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: the most hectic gore that I have ever seen. Like,

70
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: and you've seen a bit, it's when they it's when

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: there's you know, these people are possessed by the Dean

72
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: and the stuff that they do and about oh no, no,

73
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: And it's it's not that they're necessarily, you know, sort

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: of doing things to other people. It's what they do

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: to themselves. Okay, that's the stuff that's really hard to watch.

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: Leaders of Fake Blood, Oh my gosh. There was many

77
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: Leaders of Fake Blood and I'm not even going to

78
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: describe it because it is so gross some of this stuff.

79
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: And I've seen a lot of horror movies. It's not

80
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: really my genre of choice, but I have to watch

81
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: them for work, and I've seen it all, but this

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: is probably the first movie where I actually had to

83
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: turn away, like I had to cover my eyes. I

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: really thought about walking out at one point, like it

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: is confronting. OK. And so fans of this genre will

86
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 1: watch this, they will lap it up because they'll be thinking,

87
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, you can't have seen it all right, if

88
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: you're a fan of this genre. But the Philippines have

89
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: given sequences of horror and gore that I have never

90
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: seen the like of. And so if you're a fan

91
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: of this sort of stuff, you'll you'll be just frothing

92
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: over it. The who wonder about the kind of mind

93
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: that comes up with I am to be the guys

94
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, you see, you are actually sick

95
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: in your head. Oh, they loved it fantastic. And so

96
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: the film itself is about these two two kids, sort

97
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: of half siblings, whose dad dies at the start of

98
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: the film, so they get put into the foster system

99
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: and they get fostered out to this woman who seems

100
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: like a lovely maternal type living in a house in

101
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: the bush, which is Sally Hawks's character, but straight away

102
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 1: there are some red flags. She's maybe a bit too nice,

103
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: and there's also this other kid in the house who's

104
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: nonverbal and is just weird. He's just hanging around all

105
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: the time, and as the film goes along, you start

106
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: to realize that she lost her own daughter years ago,

107
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: and so maybe she sees a chance to maybe tap

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: into something a bit supernatural, a bit of a ritual situation,

109
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: to try and bring her daughter back to life. And

110
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: maybe these foster kids are gonna play a role, a

111
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: sacrificial kind of role. And so the little girl who

112
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: is kind of the central character, Piper, is played by

113
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: Sra Wong new Come much never acted before, visually impaired actor.

114
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 1: She's amazing. Sally Hawkins is amazing. English actor. Barrett plays

115
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: the old older brother. He is also great. So the

116
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: performances are really good, cinematography is amazing, it's very inventive.

117
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: The scenes of kind of the supernatural stuff are really

118
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: interestingly done. But gosh, it's a nightmare fuel when you're

119
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 1: talking about some of the some of the gory scenes

120
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: in this film. We know Sally can speak guppy or

121
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: she can do an email or whatever. How does she

122
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: go ac She's she's really good. Yeah, yeah, like it's

123
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a Britishness still to it.

124
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: But you know, there's there's so many kind of expats

125
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: and poems and indeed, and she leans into it, like

126
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: if if you thought that Sally Hawkins is just coming here,

127
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: getting a paycheck and phoning it in. She leans into this.

128
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: It's crazy how many sounds like it has Christian Anderson

129
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: story gone mad? Are you? Oh my gosh, it's not breadcrumbs.

130
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: It's likely three and a half and half. But be warned. Okay,

131
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: thanks for the blood warning. M
