I just watched a low budget Aussie movie that made it all the way to the US Sundance Film Festival in the Egyptian Theatre...not a bad feat for twins from OZ.

This 94 minute Horror, Thriller, Supernatural First Feature Film for the RackaRacka brothers, Danny & Michael Phillipou was a true family affair, even roping in their sister Helene as a possessed person in the online videos.

Before making this debut movie they already had over 1.5 billion views and 6.5 million subscribers on YouTube and other social media channels for their crazy "Jackass" style videos they've been making since they were children...sometime featuring a facsimile of Ronald McDonald.

The young acting talent in front of the camera includes Sophie Wilde.

She has proven herself as a leading actress ("The Portable Door") to carry this movie on her tiny shoulders as "Mia" because she is in nearly every scene and makes a brilliant transition from beginning to ending.

Zoe Terakes ("Wentworth", "Nine Perfect Strangers") as "Hayley" starts the whole ball rolling by gathering all her friends to a seance with a difference.

Her friend (Chris Alosio) as "Joss" constantly carries with him the creepy hand in his back pack...no snacks or drinks just a mummified hand and candle kit.

In this supernatural experience each person must hold the embalmed and plastered hand of a dead spiritualist and literally talk to the hand as they utter the words "Talk To Me" then invite the spirit they raise into them to be possessed for no more than 90 seconds.

A candle is lit at the beginning of the deadly ceremony and blown out at the end to conclude the session, if not the dead remain on our side.

It's a spooky premise that's not entirely original, but it works surprisingly well.

The horror and jump scares will keep you awake and maybe even give you nightmares.

The on screen violence will force you to navel gaze momentarily to avoid the ugliness on more than one occasion.

Youngest actor on set Joe Bird as "Riley" plays in a coma for most of the movie.

Alexandra Jensen as "Jade" plays his big sister.

Miranda Otto, from an Aussie acting dynasty, is their mother, "Sue".

The director's produced "Talk To Me" themselves by securing investors who believed in them and the project rather than letting the story get lost in the Hollywood grist mill.

This meant fighting to keep Aussie actors, accents, shooting in Adelaide, South Australia and more without diluting the product and something getting lost in translation as so often happens.

It was a gamble that cost them dearly, but paid off in the end after Sundance, because big production companies were crawling over themselves to get the brothers to sign on the dotted line for distribution deals.

A24 won out in the end over other major players to wet the ink and put "Talk To Me" into 2000 screens in the US alone!

"Talk To Me" is one of the most successful debut feature horror films since "Saw" for our other famous Aussie horror exports James Wan & Leigh Wanell.

It's also way better than anything they've created lately.

It's got a distinctly Jordan Peele ("Get Out", "Nope")vibe in its cinematography and I say that in a good way.

This movie even caught his attention.

The opening scene will shock you to your core.

There is no turning back once you've seen "Talk To Me".

It reminded me of "The Babadook" with good reason...Causeway Films' producers also collaborated on "Talk To Me".

Warning: Do not try this at home kids.

I"Talk To Me" has got a fight on its hands (pardon the pun) during this period known jokingly as Barbenheimer.

Thanks to the success of both "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" putting up the full house signs, but if you wanna see something scary this should satisfy that hunger.

Content creators are now making feature movies...enjoy this unsettling, urban legend with a cautionary tale & allegory to drug abuse.
