The stars of the most talked about horror film of 2025 were on the red carpet for the Sydney premiere on Monday night. 

Bring Her Back, directed by Australian brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, the powerhouse duo behind 2022’s smash hit Talk To Me, premiered in Sydney and the talented young cast and an array of stars were on hand to celebrate. 

Leading the charge was Talk To Me star Sophie Wilde, who stunned in a plunging black gown. 

The Aussie actress opted for halter dress with a deep V-neck and a maxi length cut, paired with towering heels. 

She pulled her hair off her face and chose a warm makeup look with a natural lip and rosy blush.

For makeup, Mischa chose a rosy palette with some highlighter as well as a pink lipstick.

Bring her back is the second original feature from Australian filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou, after the international success of their first film, Talk To Me. 

Oscar-nominated English actress Sally Hawkins, 48, known for her roles in Paddington, Wonka and Happy-Go-Lucky, stars in the supernatural chiller.

Hawkins was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in the 2013 film Blue Jasmine. 

She was nominated again in 2018 for her leading role in the Best Picture winning film The Shape of Water. 

Hawkins plays grieving mother Laura, who attempts to bring her daughter back from the dead using a paranormal ritual. 

The Adelaide-born twin brothers, 32 who have a YouTube channel called RackaRacka, re-teamed with independent production company A24 and Causeway’s Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton who produced their box office hit Talk to Me.

Ahead of the premiere, star Mischa Heywood revealed that filming Bring Her Back was anything but scary.

‘It was just like a big party. It was the funnest thing ever,’ she said of her experience playing Catherine in the film.

The boys started out filming stunts and pranks in their backyard at the age of seven, but soon graduated from home videos to Hollywood flicks.

‘They’re so full of energy and bubbly, which is great because when you’re filming something so serious and devastating like Bring Her Back I guess you have to have that fun on set to lighten the mood,’ Mischa told Daily Mail Australia of the YouTubers turned horror directors.

‘They’re just the sweetest human beings.’

And the RackaRacka brothers weren’t the only ones on set who had the young actress starstruck.

‘I think my highlight when filming was probably meeting Sally Hawkins,’ she said, adding that she was ‘so cool’ and ‘hardworking’.

Sally, who has featured in mega box office films such as Wonka, The Shape of Water and Paddington, plays Mischa’s mum Laura in the flick.

Despite throwing herself into the ‘grown-up’ movie genre, Mischa still had time to be a teen on set, playing foosball with her castmates between takes and going out for YoChi with her co-star Sora Wong, who plays Piper.

Sora was one of her ‘best friends’ while filming Bring Her Back and the girls ‘helped each other’ while filming, bonding over their shared interests and similar age.

It was Sora who broke the big news to Mischa that they’d be heading to Los Angeles for the film’s US premiere, a ‘surreal’ moment for the young star.

‘LA has been on my bucket list for years,’ she said. 

Bring Her Back is set to hit Aussie screens on May 29.
