Disappointing - Talk to Me review by KB
From the reviews i saw i expected this to be better .Rather than being scary It's got an unsavoury, unsettling & unpleasant undertone to it & it is not as clever as it would like to be .
Also ,the characters are not that believable & a bit daft .

Solid horror from Down Under - Talk to Me review by AER
Talk To Me comes with a lot of hype as 2023's most inventive and scary horror film. Whilst it's an effective chiller with a good degree of momentum to its plot, it doesn't have much to offer that I haven't seen elsewhere. Essentially, this is OUIJA in Australia. Unsympathetic and stupid characters populate Talk To Me, and there are a few plot holes which made me wonder, what's so special about this one? It's more gory than scary too. Mind you, if you're after a fast moving horror on a Saturday night, you can do a lot worse.

Very Silly but Slick, High-quality Aussie Horror Hokum, with suitable Spooky Gore - Talk to Me review by PV
I was not sure what to make of this. It takes a VERY old and trite horror trope - that of summoning spirits, this time with a hand (The Monkey's Paw MR Bates short story comes to mind). And then of course the Pandora's Box is opened.
Fine, an attempt to update and modernise an old trope with the usual archetypes. Reminded me of the funny horro FREAKY (2020) in that, though that is classier.
A rather obvious attempt to appeal to US audiences with a black female main character who has an American dad (never explained) - in south Australia, Adelaide, I think, according to end production credits. This woke stuff can be eyerollingly irritating and distracting BUT here they JUST about get away with it, esp as it is balanced by focus on a white Aussie young teen boy (acted very well, whoever that is).
Directed by 2 newcomers with Greek names - a nob to that at the end (no spoilers) and no doubt family and friends got a favour returned to get in a movie as extras LOL. Lots of newcomers here, actors too, and I hope this calling card enables their careers.
Scary? Not for me. Maybe for those who believe in the world of spirit etc.
BUT entertaining and a great Friday night horror movies to watch with friends in the dark - though it does drag a wee bit in the middle.
It also features the first kangaroo in a horror film, Maybe...
