Talk to Me (I) (2022)
10/10
The best horror film of 2023, so far.
9 August 2023
Talk to Me tells the story of a group of teenagers namely, Mia(Sophie Wilde), Jade(Alexandra Jensen), Riley(Joe Bird), Hayley(Zoe Terakes), Joss(Chris Alosio) & Daniel(Otis Dhanji). Mia, Jade & the rest of the gang find a never-seen-before method to summon the dead, using a cursed embalmed hand. However, things go awry when someone pushes the boundaries of what they should do with the malevolent hand.

Talk to Me is a jaw-dropping film. Directors Danny Phillippou & Michael Phillippou have given us a movie that is terrifying right from the word go, & not because of the cliched horror tropes. This film is a psychological horror movie, with absolutely no jump scares. It's cerebral & subversive in the best way possible. However, if you hate extreme gore or horror movies in general then, you shouldn't watch this one. Right from the word go, you will be on the edge of your seat throughout & the film absolutely doesn't let up, until the credits roll. The use of only practical effects instead of the same old boring CGI, takes up the scare quotient to an extreme level. Sophie Wilde is awe-inspiring as Mia. Wilde shines in her first lead role & has a long & bright future ahead of her, in Hollywood. Alexandra Jensen is spectacular as Jade. Joe Bird is mind-blowing as Riley. Miranda Otto is spectacular as Sue. Zoe Terakes is awesome as Hayley. Chris Alosio is good as Joss. Otis Dhanji is fantastic as Daniel. The supporting cast is excellent. Talk to Me is a must watch for horror movie buffs. Watch it on the big screen & prepare to be spooked out of your mind!
