A group of friends defy unknown forces by making contact with spirits through a supposedly embalmed hand.
While the encounters with the supernatural world are fun at first, soon, each of them will begin to suffer the terrible consequences, degrading their bodies and minds to unimaginable levels.
Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou, creators of the YouTube channel "RackaRacka", make their directorial debut with Talk to Me, a supernatural horror film.
The result is a deliciously gory film full of ghosts, a couple of well-executed scares, great special effects, and some pretty shocking scenes that, without the extreme gore, do so for their violence that causes some resentment and influence.
Neither the pretension of deep plots nor the scares, the film balances fear and suspense very well because although it is based on one of the most fundamental elements of the genre such as ghosts, it also creates a story that despite its simplicity manages to be entertaining and to some extent fresh; in addition, of course, to show a quite unexpected ending.
Undoubtedly another element to highlight is the level of violence the film exhibits, as the few gory scenes we see on screen provoke discomfort and unease thanks to the interesting special effects work between makeup and visuals.
"Talk to Me" is an example of how a horror film does not always have to have depth or wit to qualify as a "good" film; no, "Talk to Me" reminds us that we can enjoy horror because it is simpler and more basic.
