In Australia, a group of teenagers stumbles on the weirdest thing. What looks like a sculpture of a single arm with an open hand. This hand gets given to "Joss" played by Chris Alosio. "Joss" and his friend "Hayley" played by Zoe Terakes are the cool kids you could say at school. They use this hand as a party trick.

See what I didn't tell you is when you grab this hand and repeat the words "talk to me" you get a connection with a spirit. Then when you utter the sentence "let me in" you let the spirit take over your body. The goal is to never go over a couple of minutes with the spirit inside of you. They're grave consequences if you do.

"Jade" played by Alexandra Jensen, her best friend "Mia" played by Sophie Wade, "Sophie's" boyfriend "Daniel" played by Otis Dhanji and even her younger brother "Riley" played by Joe Bird are all witnesses to this hand's supernatural connection.

After the initial scare of seeing a dead spirit in front of you when you first grab the hand and say those words, give you a rush like no other. After "Sophie's" mother "Sue" played by Miranda Otto goes to work.

"Sophie" trying to fit in invites "Hayley", "Joss" and her small inner circle to have a supernatural party of sorts. They will all find out the consequences of holding the hand too long. As well as what happens when you try to play with spirits because all of them aren't good. In this eerie supernatural film.

The "Talk to Me" trailer was scarier than that actual film. I thought this was a possession film at first but it was a little more than that. Like who has fun letting spirits/demons take over their body? That doesn't sound like fun at all. I have family in Australia I will be calling them to ask them about these weird tendencies.

I found the film creepy and weird more than scary. Like you see these spirits making you do the oddest things and you want more. On top of that, an observation is if you have some messed up stuff that happened in your life you should probably stay clear away from something like this.

The fact certain characters couldn't put two and two together to see the obvious issues annoyed me. Even if you're seeing a family member, they didn't look or sound that odd before their passing. Why would they portray something demonic now? Hmmm here's a guess maybe because they are.

Between the multiple weird scenes. The ending felt rushed and half-heartily explained. The very end was cool giving you an OH SNAP moment but the directors could have transitioned that way better. Because the film didn't cost much and it's making a ton of money. A sequel was recently approved.

The concept as a whole and the very end of the film could make for a good sequel. There are ingredients in this to do it. The question is will they though? I guess that will be left to be seen. I give this film three mor fires 🔥🔥🔥.
