If you can lower your expectations, Talk to Me is an incredibly well done low budget scary movie.

There are some scenes that are genuinely upsetting and will stick in your mind.

However, the praise that it has received has been too much. But this isn't the fault of the movie makers.

Overall it is a well made movie.

The acting is, for the most part, good but the father is pretty wooden.

The sound design really adds to the uncomfortable feel of particular scenes.

The effects and make up are suitably creepy.

However, there are some disappointments. The ending isn't as strong as the rest of the movie.

So I think Talk to Me is overrated, but still worth watching.
