Honestly, there are a lot of misconceptions going around about this film being compared to other All time great indie horror films such as "Midsommar" "The Witch, and "Hereditary". This is not a good example of comparison. You should really not compare any of these, as all A24 horror is spread out differently amongst ridiculously talented filmmakers.

What I am here to tell you, is that it's better than all of the above in terms of ACTUAL SCARE factor! THIS IS THE BEST HORROR OF 2023, whilst also being The SCARIEST A24 film to date.

"Talk to Me" is an absolute masterclass in Australian horror filmmaking that surpasses all expectations before it in the genre. This intelligently crafted and superbly paced film is genuinely terrifying, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats. Danny and Michael Philippou, who started as YouTubers and transitioned into horror directors, have delivered a stunning debut that can stand toe-to-toe with even the likes of Hereditary - a testament to their inventive and original approach to the genre.

From the very beginning, the storytelling and filmmaking demonstrate an impressive level of skill and creativity, drawing viewers into a world that feels eerily authentic and grounded. The actors' performances are nothing short of exceptional; despite their young age, they bring a level of talent and commitment that adds an unparalleled sense of realism to the film. This authenticity makes even the supernatural elements feel genuinely chilling, akin to iconic and shockingly realistic horror classics like Strangers and Last House on the Left.

Sophie Wilde & Joe bird steal the show. Zoe terakes also is quite brilliant! Whilst a ranging support of excellent other young actors do a tremendous amount of work to make the audience feel like they're in the same room as the claustrophobic cast.

While some may argue that the ending is anticlimactic or leaves them wanting more, I couldn't disagree more. In fact, the ending is nothing short of perfection, leaving ample room for contemplation and interpretation. It allows the film to linger in the minds of the audience long after the credits roll, sparking discussions and analysis that add even more depth to the overall experience.

In conclusion, Talk to Me is an outstanding horror film that excels in every aspect, from its brilliant storytelling and filmmaking to the exceptional performances by its talented cast. It is a must-watch for horror enthusiasts and showcases the Philippou brothers' incredible potential as filmmakers.
