Horror Twins Danny & Michael Philippou On The Evil That Lies Beneath In Their Latest ‘Bring Her Back'
What evil lies in down and under? Surely a place filled with kangaroos and Men at Work can't be all this sinister. And the most unsuspecting duo of the deepest abyss of horror are Sundance Film Festival wunderkinds-turned-genre meisters, twin brother filmmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou. They're so vivacious and jolly, you'd never think they could conjure the grossest and most look-away moments in recent horror cinema. These guys make Ari Aster's Midsommar look like a PG version of Alice in Wonderland. More from Deadline How Wes Anderson Devised 'The Phoenician Scheme' - Crew Call Podcast At Cannes David Mamet On Return To Cinema With Self-Distributed 'Henry Johnson', State Of The Industry & J.K. Rowling-Inspired Play He's Writing For Rebecca Pidgeon - Crew Call Podcast 'Bring Her Back' Review: Sally Hawkins Gaslights Kids & Channels Grief Into Terror In The Philippous' Trauma-Soaked Sophomore Feature A24 acquired the duo's possessed teens movie Talk to Me for high-seven figures out of a raucous midnight screening at Sundance in 2023, with that title going on to gross a great $48 million-plus stateside and nearly $92M worldwide. What's their secret? More than a child eating his own skin (which you'll see this Friday in their latest, Bring Her Back), it's the duo's talent for creating deep, sympathetic and resonant characters. Bring Her Back follows two foster siblings, a young girl Piper who is visually impaired (a sublime turn by newcomer Sora Wong) and her older brother Andy (Billy Barratt, also great). With their parents gone from this world, Andy wants oversee of Piper, but the system won't allow it. They're put into the care of an older single woman, Laura (two-time Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins), who already has supervision (should we even say that?) over a young boy, Oliver (Jonah Wren Phillips). However, he's torturing himself severely, and well, there's a pool. What's wrong with this picture? What's wrong with this woman? Well, you've got to see the movie to find out what happens. Listen to our convo below with the Philippous and their inspirations, one of them being the 1967 Audrey Hepburn thriller Wait Until Dark in which the actress played a visually impaired woman terrorized by thugs in her apartment. There's a lotta horror in the marketplace, but when it's great, there's no cannibalization as we recently saw with both Sinners ($258.8M) and Final Destination Bloodlines ($94.1M and counting). Perhaps Bring Her Back will continue to bring horror cinephiles back to the multiplexes.

Boys bark at teachers, treat girls as ‘not human' as UK school misogyny rises
When a primary school teacher in the UK witnessed a 10-year-old boy refuse to speak to her --demanding to talk only to the male assistant -- because 'Andrew Tate says women shouldn't be in charge,' she was observing a symptom of a growing national crisis in UK classrooms, disturbing trends have emerged: boys barking at female staff, blocking doorways, praising violent pornography, and parroting dangerous online influencers who devalue growing body of research and multiple surveys have now confirmed what educators have been warning about for years -- the toxic influence of online misogyny is infecting schools, and it's hitting girls and women the TALK ABOUT FACING MISOGYNY IN SCHOOLS A recent poll conducted by the NASUWT teaching union, with over 5,800 respondents, found that almost three in five teachers blamed social media for the increasing wave of misogyny and poor behaviour in the poll, Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist and influencer banned by multiple platforms, was cited repeatedly as a key figure boys teacher recalled how students insisted on writing essays praising him as 'the GOAT' and defending his claim that 'women are a man's property', reported BBC. (AI-generated image) advertisementTeachers aren't just reporting troubling essays or problematic views. The behavioural spill-over is tangible. Some boys have been barking at female teachers, imitating dominance tactics they've seen in Tate's videos. Others refuse to follow basic instructions from it's not just secondary students -- primary school teachers are also reporting similar behaviour from boys as young as eight or nine. It has become so common that girls are feeling unsafe and fearful of boys' behaviour.A BBC survey of 6,000 secondary teachers found over 40% felt ill-equipped to tackle misogynistic behaviour, and nearly a third had witnessed such conduct in the past week TATE: THE WIDER ECOSYSTEM OF ONLINE MISOGYNYExperts say the problem goes deeper than just one influencer. Michael Conroy, founder of Men at Work, an organisation training professionals to work with boys and young men, points to pornography as a foundational influence shaping boys' harmful attitudes, often from a very young and exploitative media provide a backdrop against which Tate's messages about male dominance resonate deeply."Our boys, sadly, are learning about sex through porn, and it is usually representing to them a difference of power between men and women,' he told the BBC. When they then see Tate echoing those power dynamics, it all clicks into is echoed in a recent PLOS One study by Harriet Over and colleagues from the University of York. The study, which surveyed 200 UK teachers, found that 76% of secondary school teachers and 60% of primary teachers are deeply worried about the impact of online misogyny on male reported hearing a boy say, 'It's OK to hurt women because Andrew Tate does it.' Another reported a male primary school pupil telling a female pupil that 'she belonged in the kitchen'. Yet another teacher reported that their male pupils 'touch girls non-consensually' and 'do not understand why this is inappropriate'. (AI-generated image) Another teacher said girls were scared to come to school, fearing what the boys might say or is in line with the findings of a recent study by University College London (UCL) wherein it was noted that teenage girls in England were significantly less likely to feel safe in school than their male peers since the Covid-19 University of York study also pointed to the dangerous spread of the 'manosphere' -- a loosely connected online space where men share toxic, sexist content under the guise of 'self-improvement' or 'alpha masculinity'.This includes not just Tate, but a wide range of lesser-known incels, YouTubers, and gaming streamers who peddle the same misogynistic AT SCHOOL, BATTLE LINES AT HOMETeachers feel abandoned and under-resourced to confront this ideological to BBC, Patrick Roach, NASUWT General Secretary, described the situation as a 'national emergency,' criticising the government's limited response despite some curriculum reviews and online safety schools tolerate unacceptable behaviour to avoid exclusions, which some educators say makes the problem worse. (AI-generated image) Compounding the issue is parental resistance. Many teachers say parents themselves refuse to accept their child's bad behaviour or lash out when called into school. Others fear that attendance targets and soft-discipline policies are allowing misogynistic attitudes to all parents are willing to stay in the dark. One mother shared with BBC how her 14-year-old son, now home-schooled, said that girls in his class were treated like they were 'not really humans".advertisementIS THERE A WAY FORWARD?Despite awareness campaigns and government support initiatives, many educators believe schools need stronger, centralised tools -- from national guidelines on how to talk to boys about online influence, to age-appropriate materials tackling misogyny directly in 90% of teachers in the PLOS One survey said their schools would benefit from dedicated teaching tools to counter online politicians from all parties are calling for further action. The Liberal Democrats have proposed a 'Safer Screens' programme in schools, paid for by fines collected under the Online Safety Act. Screenshot from Netflix series 'Adolescence' Prime Minister Keir Starmer has acknowledged the problem, noting that there is 'no simple solution' to stop boys from being sucked into a 'whirlpool of misogyny'.He recently backed the move to screen Adolescence, a Netflix series about teenage violence and digital culture, in schools to spark FIGHT WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSEThis crisis unfolding in UK schools is not just about rude students or disrespectful essays. It's about a generation of boys growing up believing that dominance over women is natural, desirable, and cool -- and dragging those attitudes into real-world relationships, friendships, and already overburdened, say they can't do it alone. They need parents, policymakers, tech companies, and curriculum reformers to step up -- before misogyny becomes so normalised in our classrooms that undoing it becomes Watch
