“Talk to me” (2023) is a horror film written and directed by Danny and Michael Philippou, and starring Sophie Wilde, Josh Helman, and Emily Dey. The film follows a group of teenagers who experiment with spiritual possession, only to unleash a dark force that threatens to consume them.

The film is a stylish and atmospheric horror film that effectively blends elements of supernatural horror, psychological horror, and body horror. The Philippou brothers create a sense of dread and unease that builds throughout the film, culminating in a series of disturbing and visceral scenes. The cast is also strong, with Wilde giving a particularly memorable performance as the lead.

One of the things that makes “Talk to me” so effective is its use of sound design. The film is full of unsettling noises and ambient sounds that create a sense of unease and paranoia. The sound design is also used to great effect in the film’s climax, which is one of the most disturbing and visceral scenes I’ve seen in a horror film in recent years.

“Talk to me” is a well-made and effective horror film that is sure to please fans of the genre. The film is stylish, atmospheric, and disturbing, and it features a strong cast and some excellent sound design. If you’re looking for a good scare, I highly recommend checking out “Talk to me”.

The film’s title is a reference to the way that the teenagers in the film use social media to document their experiments with spiritual possession. The film suggests that social media can be a dangerous tool, and that it can be used to spread fear and misinformation.

The film also explores the theme of grief. The main character, Riley, is still grieving the death of her father when she begins experimenting with spiritual possession. The film suggests that grief can make people vulnerable to dark forces.

The film’s ending is ambiguous, but it suggests that Riley may have been able to overcome the dark force that possessed her. This ending leaves the viewer with a sense of hope, even though the film is ultimately a disturbing and unsettling experience.
