Where Was Bring Her Back Filmed?

Adelaide, South Australia
Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia, served as a primary filming location. Known for its vibrant arts scene, historic architecture, and picturesque surroundings, the city provided an atmospheric setting for the film’s eerie story.
Adelaide sits between the Gulf St Vincent coastline and the Mount Lofty Ranges, offering a diverse range of landscapes. The city is famous for hosting major cultural events like the Adelaide Festival, Fringe Festival, and WOMADelaide.
Lightsview, South Australia
Some scenes were filmed in Lightsview, a modern residential suburb located about 8 kilometers (5 miles) from Adelaide’s city center.
Lightsview is a master-planned community known for its parks, lakes, and green spaces, which could have been used to create a false sense of suburban safety before horror unfolds.
The suburb was officially established in 2016 and was developed with modern housing and carefully designed public spaces. Its relatively new and quiet setting may have contributed to the unsettling tone of the film.
When Did the Filming of Bring Her Back Take Place?
Principal photography for Bring Her Back began in June 2024 and lasted 41 days. The production wrapped up after shooting in various locations around Adelaide and Lightsview.
