Bring Her Back OTT release date in India: Here's when and where you can stream Australian horror flick

The highly anticipated Australian horror flick Bring Her Back will officially debut on Netflix in India on November 22, 2025. After a smashing success in theatres around the world, the terrifying thriller will soon be available to stream on Indian audiences' regular subscriptions, free of rental fees.

Creative team and critical acclaim

Since its May 2025 Australian cinema release, Bring Her Back has attracted substantial notice. The twin brothers Michael and Danny Philippou, who also directed the 2022 success Talk to Me, directed the film. Danny and Bill Hinzman co-wrote the screenplay, garnering praise for its disturbing tone and stellar acting.

Andy, played by Billy Barratt, is a 17-year-old with a lot of guilt, and his younger sister Piper, played by Sora Wong, is visually impaired. Their father dies unexpectedly, and their mother, Laura (Sally Hawkins), is a bereaved mother who lost her blind daughter, Cathy, years before; she takes them in as foster children. Despite its seeming benign nature, Andy and Piper's situation takes a terrible turn when he learns Laura's dark secret: she is trying to resurrect her dead daughter through a sinister occult ceremony, endangering not only herself but also Andy. The critics have singled out Hawkins' performance, which depicts a mother pushed to extremes by her insurmountable grief, for its depth and passion.

Box office success and critical reception

Before its extensive distribution in Australia on May 29, 2025, and its US release via A24 on May 30, 2025, Bring Her Back had its premiere on May 26, 2025, at a private showing for the Adelaide Film Festival club members. As of early September 2025, the film had earned $39.1 million worldwide, proving to be a commercial triumph. The directors' ability to maintain a high level of terror and the film's focused plot earned the critics mostly favourable reviews. Using horror elements, the story discusses topics like trauma, loss, and the erosion of trust within a family context, all while exploring how bereavement can become an obsession. Fans of psychological horror have expressed their approval of the film's decision to rely on atmospheric tension rather than jump scares.

Sally-Anne Upton plays Wendy, the siblings' social worker, and Jonah Wren Phillips plays Oliver/Connor Bird, another foster kid in Laura's care whose quiet and unnerving demeanour is crucial to the supernatural aspects of the story.

Anticipated impact on Indian audience

Currently only accessible as a rental on services like ZEE5 (OTTplay Premium) and Prime Video, Bring Her Back will now be available to all of Netflix's subscribers at no extra cost. The film is a significant addition to Netflix's year-end horror roster.
