"Talk to Me" is a truly terrifying and remarkable debut from the RackaRacka twins. A twisted story told with amazing skill.
The good in this movie by far is the practical effects. They are absolutely terrifying to look at and immensely detailed. It's very disturbing and quite disgusting. Along with that is amazing gore. Again it's very disturbing and isn't fun. The performances are also very good. Sophie Wilde in particular is an absolute powerhouse here along with all the other cast members. The writing too is very good. Some of the best writing I've seen in a horror film in years. That immensely helps with making nearly every character here either likable or interesting. The idea of grief in this film is not only perfectly written, but is written in such a way that truly brings everything in the story to full circle. I love the subtle idea that this film in a way is an allegory for substance abuse for young teens. It gives the audience something to think about admits the bloodshed. Along with that we get some great directing with some amazing cinematography. The scares aren't jump scares, they're tense shots that linger for far too long to leave the audience in absolute shock. And finally the ending is just...it's an absolutely amazing ending that really sticks the landing along with everything else this movie achieved so well.
All in all, "Talk to Me" is one of the rare horror movies that truly disturbed me and really showcases a great directing talent with these two twins.
