did i miss something? terrible movie
8.5/10
What a
Sensational way
for a new horror trilogy
to kickoff.
With
Talk to me:
Talk 2 me:
Talk to me untitled prequel
Talk to me
is an absolute treat to
Horror fans this is one
of the best Horror movies
of 2023, much much better
than Evil Dead 2023
and definitely a more
entertaining and solid
Horror than the
Insidious franchise
especially
Insidious the red door
2023 where literally the
franchise just goes to
shit at this point.
Talk to me gets it
right on every level
and knows exactly the
story it wants to tell.
Speaking of what a unique,
fresh and interesting story
usually in so many
Teen Horror movies
It's when shit goes sideways
and the spirits start popping
that the good stuff starts
but uniquely these
Numbnuts know exactly
what they are doing
and they are not shy
about it.
(What could go wrong).
The VFX are amazing
and the tension and
scares are awesome,
and the twists and surprises
are wonderful.
what's not to
Love about this kick ass
Horror, I had high expectations
for this gem and it certainly
did not disappoint.
I am absolutely thrilled
I will own this on
Blu Ray before
31st OCTOBER 2023
so I'll be able to do
a rewatch as part of
My 31 days of Horror.
I am even more happy
that this movie is part
of a planned trilogy
with the 3rd installment
being a prequel.
Verdict:
Highly recommended
if you love great Horror
movies then you are
certainly going to love this.

Rated a Connor 10, normal 8.2
Fuck yeah! Do NOT skip this. Insanely promising debut from the Philippou brothers. Comedy in all the right places and genuine terror in all the right places.
You can tell they wanted to subvert expectations of normal cinema-goers but still remain in the 'mainstream horror' bracket and it works a treat. The scares come from personal mania and/or trauma and never(?) through jumpscares even though sometimes it'd feel like a jumpscare was coming...but I think that was deliberate.
It's such a twisted crack at a coming-of-age story and successfully creates horror out of the teenage desire to rebel against what they are told in order to mature through independence - the intoxicating pursuit of things like drugs more than the drugs themselves and then it toys with the mind-loops that got the kid to that point of trying things they're not supposed to. Of course, literally summoning demons for fun is a blatant example of that but I think this story works in other ways too.
So glad I made sure to see this on the big screen. My audience was great too.
Possession goes viral and ghost gets kinky. Who let Tarantino in?
Not really all that much to say about this movie. It really just was the movie I was hoping it would be going by what I saw in the trailer.
The story is what I expected, no real surprises at all. But it was very well told so that made up for the lack of anything unexpected. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Some great scenes, good scares, and and horror that in parts brought a massive smile to my face.
If you enjoy horror, watch it.
Talk To Me feels like A24 qualitywise but we're back to basics here with a genuinely scary classic ghost story—and a good one too, it's been a while. Very straight to the point but still refreshing and original. It looks so good, some unexpected twists and turns, impressive camerawork, great practical effects, the gore is effective and I was genuinely scared in the theater. THAT bloody brutal moment had me squirming in my seat. The mystery for the hand was engaging and they kept it surface level which is for the best if they ever intend on making another movie. I did want to know more about it though. I love what they did with the substance abuse themes tying in with the horror and that's what made it original to me. Great acting from everyone but Sophie Wilde, yeah she was wild! Overall a very respectable horror movie and the best we've had so far this year.
I had a bit of a moment when I heard the Crazy Frog ringtone!
Nice, a really solid flick. It’s normie horror done right; formulaic and familiar enough while also smartly avoiding some of the genre’s dumbest clichés. The characters are still stupid as hell, but because this is a story about addiction and peer pressure, the movie gets away with that. It’s truly an exciting start for the careers of the actors and directors. In fact, I see so much potential here that I don’t think either will look back on this project as their best work. Nevertheless, the editing, sound choices and cinematography are already good enough where the movie got a visceral reaction out of me on multiple occasions, which means it did its job.
7/10
Saw the movie tonight.. there’s only one scene who is nice and it’s with the little boy.. after that everything is boring not scary at all … it’s a good concept but the movie is just boring …
5.5/10 for me …
I bet more on the new exorcist believer that will come out on October Friday 13 !
The majority of Possession movies cross the line into cheesy and stupid. Talk to Me may walk right to the line, but mostly stays on the favorable side. The film resists cheap jump scares, presents some interesting and original ideas, and has a strong conclusion.
Disturbing! :heart_eyes:
I also had an entire small theater to myself :relaxed:
Support Australian. Support Horror. Support A24.
Want see this so badly ,just watched Cobwebs was really good
This was a really good horror/thriller movie with an idea that we haven’t seen before in scary movies (which is uncommon). It was very well done - the acting was great, the gore was great, story great. Glad to see such a good result from young aussie directors!
Saw this tonight as part of :pound_symbol:RegalMysteryMovie. The movie was well done, had some unseen twists which in this day of horror movies is increasingly hard to find.

not a game changer movie at all but definitely worth watching. some great twits that kept you staring at the screen alongside an interesting plot.
