Talk to me

That’s the ingenius premise forTalk to Me, a 2022 Aussie horror movie. Luckily, with Halloween just around the corner, it’s being added toNetflixon October 26th (there are plenty of greathorror moviesstreaming already too). I’ve not seen it, but I’m gonna have to be brave because it sounds so unique and the reviews are strong for this movie.TotalFilm’s4 star review described it as mixing “subtle chills and well-timed jump scares skilfully” whileMark Kermodealso gave it 4 stars, describing it as “an Evil Dead for the Snapchat generation”. As a result it boasts an incredible 94% critic’s score on Rotten Tomatoes.

When held and the magic words “Talk to me” are spoken, the user of the hand is subjected to the spirit world, becoming a full on vessell for a demon. Their eyes bulge and they try to do terrible things, but only for 90 seconds at a time, (and it gies users a euphoric high) so of course it’s perfect for social media. I smell a clever allegory for addiction and the dangers of social media.Yes please.

We follow Mia (Sophie Wilde), a seventeen year old girl who’s mother passed two years ago, so it’s pretty obvious what she wants to use the hand for. Of course, as with any social media craze, things are bound to start going too far.

In truth even before watching the trailer I was already on board for this movie. The studio distributing it, A24, simply doesn’t miss. It has treated us to some of the best movies of the past ten years, includingLadybird, Everything Everywhere All at OnceandUncut Gems. A24’s horror pedigree is also undoubted with the likes ofHereditaryandThe Lighthousealso bearing its name.

If you’re after a mix of horror and comedy then why not check outAmazon PrimeVideo’s Blumhouse80’s throwbackas well.
