Welcome back to the evolution of horror. My name is Mike Munser and as ever I am your host. We're bringing

you a little cheeky bonus episode today as this weekend finally marks the UK release of the new

movie by the Philippaou Brothers Bring Her Back. These are of course the two incredible filmmakers

that brought us talk to me a couple of years ago. For so many of us, I know,

that was our favorite horror film of the year in 2023, and they're back with, oh my God,

an astonishing follow-up, a movie starring Sally Hawkins called Bring Her Back. This movie is just as powerful and visceral and gory and scary as talk to me. And I got the chance to sit down and

talk to these two incredible filmmakers about making the movie and the inspirations behind it.

This interview is completely spoiler-free. And if you want to hear what I thought of bring

her back, we are going to be releasing a full, deep dive, spoilerific discussion about

the movie on Patreon next week. So if you want to hear that discussion, you simply need to sign

up to our Patreon at the $5 level, patreon.com slash evolution of horror. So please enjoy my

conversation with Danny and Michael Philippe.

Hello, guys.

Howdy, howdy?

If we don't look exactly at your eyes, it's because the light...

I'm...

I'm...

The last time I spoke to you guys was for talk to me, obviously.

And just how has everything been in the last couple of years?

It must have been a bit of a whirlwind for you guys since the amazing success of that movie, right? Well, yeah, there was a bit of an anxiety going into the next one because I could feel a bit of pressure, mounting up. And so the idea was to just get on the train and let it take away from the station and just, you know, otherwise I would have been too afraid and wouldn't have boarded it. I would have just stayed at the stop and not got on. So I was just like, let's sign on to the next one and make sure we're doing something. Otherwise, I'll be paralyzed by fear. But that whirlwind, I don't think it's kind of stopped yet since we talked to me came out. It's been non-stop since then. Because yeah, we just jumped into production. Yeah, we just turned straight and we're like, let's go!

So, yeah, we haven't really...

I think end of this year we'll have a bit of a break.
