'Talk to Me' tells the story of best friends Mia (Sophie Wilde) and Jade (Alexandra Jensen), who are dared to touch the disembodied and embalmed hand of a spiritual medium, and perform a short ritual, thereby allowing themselves to be possessed by spirits. With each turn of the hand, Mia, Jade, Hayley (Zoe Terakes), Joss (Chris Alosio), and Daniel (Otis Dhanji) experience 90 seconds of wildly varying spiritual possessions, but when Jade's brother Riley (Joe Bird) has a go at the hand, things become dark and excessively violent.

Firstly, the acting is very well done, especially by the kids, Sophie Wilde and Joe Bird, who are front and center in the possession effects. The nature of Hayley and Joss being high school-ish punks and the double-dog-dare mentality of what is essentially putting ones' hands on a ouija board lends a lot of credibility and plausibility to the overall setup.

The film does take a little bit to pick up after the opening scene, but once it does, the flow is good and doesn't lull anywhere for too long. The biggest win in this film is it doesn't rely on jump scares and instead, lets you sit in the fear, marinating in suspense.

Definitely worth a watch!
