“Talk to Me” has horror fans talking… about how much it scared them and of a certain scene that reminded them of a pivotal moment in another A24 movie, “Hereditary.”
The debut film from Australian directors Danny and Michael Philippou is about a group of friends who discover they can conjure spirits by using an embalmed hand. Their favorite new pastime, unfortunately, also unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.
TheWrap’s critic Tomris Laffly called it “an honest-to-god horror movie with genuine scares” in her review. It currently has a 94% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
