Talk To Me

A24's latest supernatural horror sees a group of teenagers contacting spirits by touching an embalmed hand, albeit, without exceeding ninety seconds. Everything goes downhill when they forget the rules of the game.

Talk To Me starts with a bang and ends with a brilliantly sequenced finale. The plot is fresh and progresses well and even with a slightly muddled last quarter, it doesn't falter.

The practical effects are jolting and potent, and deliver dread. The sound effects and score harmoniously bring the horror elements through (with ELGRINDO's Have You Ever already a viral TikTok sound).

The cast of Talk To Me is pivotal to its success. Sophie Wilde delivers a compelling lead performance, with newcomer Joe Bird giving heft to the horror sequences.

With news of a prequel and sequel already in the works, Talk To Me has brought an exciting franchise to A24.

8.5/10.
