Movie: TalktoMe is a solid horror flick with both heart and gore A24
"Talk to Me" -- ★ ★ ★ You've got to hand it to the Philippou brothers. They've taken an old horror cliche -- a severed hand -- and made something worth, well, applauding.
Directed by the brothers from a script by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman,"Talk to Me" is modern and yet ancient, with just enough jump-cuts and zombies and dread, but not too much. It also downshifts out of madness in the final third to explore loss and guilt just when most films would ramp up the running-from-scary-guys part.
Curiously, these teens don't sit around and play beer pong or spin-the-bottle. They take turns holding the hand and inviting whatever bug-eyed, damp and foul demon to enter their body. The kids film it all on their phones and post it on social media. What's surprising is the joy it brings to our weird group. Being possessed in this movie is a rush -- an unconventional idea in the horror genre -- even though the demon who briefly controls you can do embarrassing things, like make out with a dog. The script seems to be playing with notions of recreational drugs as much as horror here.
