Maybe I’m just out of date, but at the time when my friends and I wanted to party, we were furrowing a beer crate out of our parents’ garage and slamming these brewers in the woods before getting into any badly in reserve for the evening. Never in a thousand years, he came to know that we could get Recreational possessed By a disembodied hand which could ruin all our lives should that the troubled soul really bows in the mortal kingdom as in 2022 Talk to me. As a parent myself, I will certainly have a conversation with my children when they reach the age of celebration because if they will enter the occult with their friends, I prefer that they do it in complete safety under my roof that during the party of a stranger … or something like that.
Simple, elegant and supernatural
Talk to me is such a simple film that you don’t need to think a ton of reflection in the viewing experience. In my efforts to give you the most basic story because words cannot do justice Talk to me First -order visuals and practical effects, I would do it as a simple possession film with a healthy portion of psychological horror to keep things interesting.
We are presented in Mia (Sophie Wilde), who finds it difficult to deal with the two -year birthday of the death of her mother, which occurred in mysterious circumstances. Mia, as well as her best friend, Jade (Alexandra Jensen), and her little brother, Riley (Joe Bird), are invited to party organized by Hayley (Zoe Terakes) and Joss (Chris Alosio), where the only goal of the rally is to taste a disinterested and excited hand that offers a disturbing glimpse of life. The legend says that if the children light a candle, it opens the door to the beyond, and when regardless of the voluntary participant, the sentences “speak to me” and “I let you enter” in Rapid successionwill allow them to experience possession on the other side of the first hand.
But here is the botter, if whatever the mind on the other side occupies the body of its subject for more than 90 seconds, they can take control of all its being for good.
What could go wrong?
After volunteering to communicate with the dead Talk to meMia is moving away from her initial experience that wanted to see more. So much, in fact, that she neglects to mention that the mind she met seemed interested in Riley. During another party a few days later, Mia encourages Riley to try to use the hand despite the fact that Jade does not want him to participate in the ritual because this is what the big protective sisters do.
As you can imagine, things turn terribly after Mia assumed that her dead mother, Rhea (Alexandria Steffensen), occupies the body of Riley. Still on the search for responses involving the death of her mother, Mia inadvertently welcomes the mind in the body of Riley indefinitely because they have exceeded the brand 90 seconds.
Excommunicated by Jade and the rest of his family after having put Riley in fatal danger, Mia begins to spiral because whatever the bridge she left open during the ritual bleeding in her real life. Fangue by demonic hallucinations and constantly haunted by the death of her mother, Mia decides to close the gateway using the hand, but naturally receives a repression from all the other traumatized parties involved.
A bare masterclass
At the value of the face, it does not happen much Talk to me, But its delivery is why you want to consult this film as soon as you are a fan of supernatural horror. Admitting fully that I am not Australian, and by extension, without familiarization with their regional sentences, I felt that each child had such an order on his young slang that the dialogue never felt incredible. Naturally referring to their private parts as “guccis” and calling someone a “fetus” instead of a wet hen felt authentic and anchored, which allowed me to remain involved in narration instead of thinking about me: “Children do not speak like that.”
More importantly, the practical effects that Danny and Michael Philippou use in their beginnings as a director are unparalleled. Although there is no doubt in my mind that most modern productions use CGI for all sequences involving a crossing of life after death, the real gore is sufficient to crawl your skin because you will not be spared by cutting cuts – you will see that the faces and bodies are destroyed in real time in front of you.
Find strength in its inherent simplicity, Talk to me tells a familiar story, but with a modern advantage and a strong distribution that makes everything credible, no matter how much things are out of the rails. If you slept Talk to me When it was initial out, I strongly encourage you to make it spin on Netflix the next time you want to be frightened in the submission.
