Tarantino has certainly afforded us some classic auteur fair over the years, disparate in tone, in subject and in setting, but he always delivers something uniquely him and uniquely memorable.

Family Requires Sacrifice! Never has that edict been more relevant than in the new film, Bring Her Back from the Philippou brothers, the filmmaking team that brought us 2022’s breakout Australian supernatural horror film, Talk to Me. Well, the brothers are back at it in their ...
