The 2022 horror movie "Talk to Me" from writers Danny Philippou, Bill Hinzman and Daley Pearson was one that I hadn't heard about, as I stumbled upon it here in 2023. But I have to admit that I was intrigued by the movie's cover and the synopsis for the movie sounded interesting enough. And the fact that it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen definitely helped to make me decide to sit down and watch it.

The storyline in "Talk to Me" was interesting and definitely had a lot of potential to it. And sure, the movie did make for an adequate enough viewing experience, though I feel that the movie was somewhat toned down. It felt like more could have been put into the narrative to make the movie stand out more. It wasn't a scary movie, but I have to say that the storyline and plot proved to be interesting.

The acting performances in "Talk to Me" were good. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but the actors and actresses put on good performances and helped carry the movie nicely. And thus made it all the more watchable and enjoyable.

Visually then I will say that "Talk to Me" was good. The special effects and make-up was good, and that certainly added something enjoyable to the overall impression of the movie.

All in all, a watchable horror movie. But it just wasn't outstanding or overly memorable. But suitable for a single viewing if you enjoy horror movies. The ending of the movie, however, was rather cliché and you saw it coming a mile away. A shame, because that ending sort of felt like a slap in the face after having sat through 95 minutes.

My rating of directors Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou's 2022 movie "Talk to Me" lands on a five out of ten stars.
