Talk to Me Reigns as Best Since The Exorcist!
‘Talk to me’ Review: Ever since the spine-chilling release of William Friedkin and Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist, unsuspecting viewers have been left trembling in their seats, some even requiring medical attention.
This bone-chilling masterpiece from 1973 ignited a terrifying trend in the world of possession films, delving deep into the sinister fascination with the divide between generations.
Cinema’s attempt at a subtle metaphor falls flat in the spine-chilling portrayal of a young child oozing black goo from their eyes, leaving the horrified adults in a state of terror.
It is, however, one of the most enduring horrors that will haunt your nightmares.
Prepare to be terrified as Danny and Michael Philippou unleash their directorial debut, Talk to Me.
Talk to Me delivers a bone-chilling horror experience with its exceptional cast of teenagers, who embark on a terrifying journey to free the tormented spirits of the damned from Jade’s younger brother, Riley.
Beware, for the mischievous little scamp appears alarmingly near, unsettlingly so. Jade’s friend Mia is a haunting presence, lurking in the shadows of his life, a twisted reflection of a sisterly bond.
They drag him into the twisted world of the film’s raucous parties, where the air is thick with a sense of impending doom. These gatherings, foolishly centred around the macabre act of summoning spirits through a mummified hand, plunge him into a nightmarish descent into the unknown.
Riley’s mother, portrayed by the brilliantly sweary Miranda Otto, unleashes a terrifying storm of chaos and horror upon the unsuspecting audience.
Throughout the majority of Talk to Me, a chilling sense of dread lingers as the hapless teenagers desperately attempt to rectify the horrifying consequences of their actions.
In the chilling debut of Philippous, possession takes on a terrifying new form. As smartphones are hastily brandished to capture every encounter with the supernatural, what unfolds is not just a religious ordeal, but a sinister viral challenge that will leave you trembling with fear.
In a chilling tale of misguided choices, the characters find themselves entangled in a web of terror. As they plunge deeper into their dangerous obsession, the horrifying truth becomes clear: their reckless pursuit of euphoria has dire repercussions.
Amidst the chaos, a once-close bond with a younger sibling unravels, leaving them haunted by the sinister consequences of their actions. Brace yourself for a bone-chilling journey into the heart of darkness.
In the eerie world of Talk to Me, where metaphors and the macabre reign supreme, prepare to be chilled to the bone.
In the eerie depths of the night, a chilling atmosphere surrounds us as we embark on a journey through the twisted realms of horror.
From spine-tingling carpool singalongs to the haunting melody of Sia’s ‘Chandelier’, to the timid leg of Mia, desperately seeking connection in the darkness, this film possesses a rare and captivating soul.
Amidst the overwhelming abundance of enjoyable and high-quality horror films that have graced our screens in recent years, this particular gem stands out, leaving an indelible mark on our trembling souls. The group of teens at the centre are a chilling blend of humour and melodrama, adding an unsettling layer of believability to their characters.
In the depths of darkness, “At times, it feels like a coming-of-age movie” sends shivers down your spine.
This chilling tale masquerades as an innocent coming-of-age film, luring you into a false sense of security.
But beware, for beneath its seemingly harmless facade lies a sinister and bone-chilling horror that will leave you trembling in fear.

Prepare to be terrified as Sophie Wilde and Joe Bird deliver spine-chilling performances that will haunt your nightmares.
Their acting prowess shines through, even in the presence of malevolent spirits and otherworldly horrors.
Bird, a chilling horror film, dares to redefine the haunting tale of a possessed individual. It boldly disregards the peripheral characters, focusing instead on the protagonist’s disturbing acts of self-mutilation.
Rob Savage’s take on The Boogeyman is a chilling reminder of the power of horror. It delves into the darkest corners of our fears, addressing the topics we’d rather avoid.
Talk to Me is a chilling film that, much like the most spine-tingling horror stories, possesses an eerie ambiguity that leaves viewers questioning its true nature.
A chilling examination of our toxic bond with social media, a bone-chilling depiction of the apathy surrounding the climate crisis, and a haunting exploration of the soulless void left by a society devoid of spirituality.
More than anything, however, it exudes an eerie atmosphere, delving into the chilling depths of isolation and the haunting inability of desolate souls to communicate.
In the dark depths of cinematic terror, lies a film that dares to juggle an array of chilling themes. Yet, amidst its complexity, the summary of this spine-tingling masterpiece appears deceptively straightforward.
Brace yourself for a journey into the unknown, where simplicity masks a sinister tale waiting to consume your very soul.
This bone-chilling masterpiece effortlessly captures the dark essence of the 2020s, mirroring the hauntingly accurate portrayal of societal turmoil that The Exorcist achieved half a century ago.
