so when youre trapped in the hand its like youre in a completely dark room for all eternity except the times when some fricko teenagers have a party(or someone else uses the hand)?
its understandable that alot of those ghosts wanted to frick with them teebeeage.
>drowned looking woman.
Just being autist but they stay looking like the same when they die like Mia, right? If that woman drowned, she wasn't looking like that when she died. Maybe they rot in the limbo?
No fricking way and the key (as the vampire trope in horror shows) is never ever allowing evil in- not recreationally (in the case of the hand, which is also an obvious drug metaphor) and not out of pity when a stranger is disruptive to your household.
That's a metaphor that applies to unbridled immigration as well
Presumably, but they never explicitly show this. The ghosts only talk whilst possessing someone. The exception being the "mother" but that's because the chick went past the time limit
Enjoyed the premise, liked the main girl and characters, thought it was really fun then the weird bus scene happens where they magically come across the brother who is getting on a bus and then the movie just kinda stalls and never has fun with what happened. Honestly would have preferred if each teen had a separate evil spirit possess them. Dunno, the movie just fizzles out. Also the mom reacting so calmly to her son missing from his hospital bed made me laugh
> they magically come across the brother who is getting on a bus
The social milieu explains it: the movie takes place in Adelaide, a relatively small city that Australians apparently consider boring and uneventful and zoomers usually hang around in smaller circles/places >never has fun with what happened
The movie eschews any attempt to make it comedic as for instance Evil Dead does. It's not dour but the tone is straightforward
I didn’t. I thought it was just slang for AUS yards like British Chavs. I guess it’s like rednecks. Anyways the kids were really fricking weird looking. I could not relate.
An anon on /hor/ said that another upcoming Aussie horror (Late Night with the Devil) is also good but other horror releases this year have been either abysmal or okayish at best.
Among other factors, Talk to Me is beautifully shot (miles above murky, grayish looking movies w/ subpar visual effects) and the sound design is brilliant, it amplifies the movie's impact further and rewards attention
I saw this in a small kinoplex early release and I just couldn’t stop thinking about how ugly everyone was for the whole movie. I mean seriously these frickers were so ugly the black chick was the most normal looking one.
The makeup for the spirits look very convincing and spooky. I had hoped we'd see more of what "the other side" looked like, but the one scene we got was brutally terrifying.
>They're still on screen though
They exist. The point isn't erasing people from society but showing they can be flawed.
Casting the main character as a black zoomer in a small town is essential to the story. as the party scene abundantly shows. It wasn't by any means blackcasting in the same way that, say, The Little Mermaid live-action had
No, and I don't understand why anyone would. You can literally sit there for as long as you want and have actual conversations with the ghosts. Why let them possess you?
If you looked up milquetoast in the dictionary this is the picture they’d use to describe it.
I don’t watch a lot of horror movies but this one somehow managed to leave me completely unfazed. No thrills, no chills, no nothing.
Milquetoast as a concept usually doesn't encompass possession, eye gouging, rotten/maimed ghostly figures, violent car crashes, frenchkissing bulldogs and so on
pretty good, could have been another mediocre by the numbers zoomer horror like elevator game but managed to use its emotional and scary themes really, really well.
it was a movie that sure stuck with me afterwards.
>Letting an unknown entity into your body
I'm not fricking stupid, so no
I'd 100% touch the hand to see the ghosts tho, proof of the afterlife is enough for me
wouldnt all the bad ghosts be in hell? why arent there more good ghosts on earth? in these movies it would be way cooler if occasionally some of the ghosts actually improve their lives but then sometimes u get a bad one, it would of made the party scene alot better if they could gain levitation and other cool stuff during possesion and use those powers to pull pranks
The ghosts seem to be mostly evil or tormented creatures who fed off those other souls who made the mistake of being possessed through the hand. It's possible that the mother was there for committing suicide and that in her later apparitions it's not her but some evil entity trying to mislead the black girl
let's venture into the world of neurocinematics. Unlike 'Hereditary,' which relies on visceral visuals, 'Talk to Me' ingeniously exploits neurocognitive dissonance. It tantalizingly cloaks its supernatural entities, allowing our brains to construct the most terrifying images in the darkest corners of our psyche. The power of the unseen, when wielded with such finesse, amplifies the viewer's sense of vulnerability, inducing a state of anticipatory anxiety that is nothing short of brilliant.
And speaking of brilliance, 'Talk to Me' weaves an intricate narrative web that mirrors the intricacies of real-world paranormal psychology. It's not just about spirits and spectral communications; it's a profound exploration of the liminal spaces between life and death, where cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias converge. The film deftly exploits the Zeigarnik Effect, leaving no loose threads in its plot, yet inexplicably lingering in your thoughts long after the credits roll.
Whoever tries to be "ironic" by using Chat GPT should simply cut his losses and admit to having been filtered by the movie. It's easier to acknowledge your limits than living in denial.
>Omg stop talking about newly released movies on a movie/TV board, YOUR SHILLING!
I sincerely said you should watch it because like the people in it or not, it's interesting and better than what's out there now
It sounds a bit insincere/bottish because TtM also has visceral scenes and its supernatural entities are literally shown in broad daylight or well-lighted spaces. The mention to liminal/life-death spaces only applies to the ending scene at the hospital
*fist bumps*
this movie is nothing short of a masterpiece.
everything else will amount to seething, including the filtered "but it has a BLACK main character" types.
Imagine seriously comparing Talk to Me to woke, ineptly directed dreck such as Scream VI or Last Voyage of the Demeter
Thanks again for quoting me, was it in this thread or the other one? Anyway, yes, keep spreading the truth. I wouldn't call it a "masterpiece" but it is fine and this year's best horror

How's your sleep schedule/diet?
Are you under any type of medication?
The movie was released online 3 weeks ago, so that's a weird thing to say. Perhaps you're confusing it with another one
not if I don't know them or if it looks like i couldn't take em on in a fight
no, im not a braindead zoomer.
only based billy
so when youre trapped in the hand its like youre in a completely dark room for all eternity except the times when some fricko teenagers have a party(or someone else uses the hand)?
its understandable that alot of those ghosts wanted to frick with them teebeeage.
If that's true then yeah it's very understandable
Jerk Me Off
there is some hot footsucking in the film when one dude accidentally lets in a pervert
that guy was gay right?
thats not what happens tho, the mc girl is sucking the foot because shes possessed by that drowned looking woman.
>drowned looking woman.
Just being autist but they stay looking like the same when they die like Mia, right? If that woman drowned, she wasn't looking like that when she died. Maybe they rot in the limbo?

cant you just talk to them without letting them in?
Presumably, but they never explicitly show this. The ghosts only talk whilst possessing someone. The exception being the "mother" but that's because the chick went past the time limit
Such a shit and boring movie. I got the ticket for free and still felt ripped off.
Your insightful comments are much appreciated

I pretty much feel the same. I think its because the end is all daytime running around in cars and parking lots. Really kills the vibe.
stop shilling this mediocre movie everywhere
It's very well done for a low budget and the story isn't bad
Yes, stop shilling a widely acclaimed movie that made around 20x its budget at the box office
>Yes, stop shilling a widely acclaimed movie that made around 20x its budget at the box office
OY VEY BUY AN AD FOR YOUR CONSOOMERS MOSHE
Omg stop talking about newly released movies on a movie/TV board, YOUR SHILLING!
I might let the creepy hand in.
Not the black person though.
is this movie worth a watch?
Simply, yes
If ugly bogans take you out of the experience then maybe no.
>bogans
you have no idea what this means
I didn’t. I thought it was just slang for AUS yards like British Chavs. I guess it’s like rednecks. Anyways the kids were really fricking weird looking. I could not relate.
Best horror movie of the year in form and content. It makes other 2023 horror releases seem amateurish by comparison
you know the answer is no, because the replies to you sound like jokes but are "sincere"
Your reply sounds autistic or ESL. No other horror movie released this year comes close to Talk to Me
>Your reply sounds autistic or ESL.
as an ESL I find that offensive.
Fair enough, it was probably insulting to autists as well since that other guy's comment was merely dumb
I sincerely said you should watch it because like the people in it or not, it's interesting and better than what's out there now
Ya best of the year so far. Not that there was any real competion.
An anon on /hor/ said that another upcoming Aussie horror (Late Night with the Devil) is also good but other horror releases this year have been either abysmal or okayish at best.
Among other factors, Talk to Me is beautifully shot (miles above murky, grayish looking movies w/ subpar visual effects) and the sound design is brilliant, it amplifies the movie's impact further and rewards attention
No, they don't do enough with the premise. Not sure why everyone is sucking this movie off.
I saw this in a small kinoplex early release and I just couldn’t stop thinking about how ugly everyone was for the whole movie. I mean seriously these frickers were so ugly the black chick was the most normal looking one.
>A24
More like A360 and walk out of the theater
It has jumpscares. Can't call it le slowburn.
Hey you wanna know whats one of the only A24 movies to not have anything that could be considered a jumpscare?
Fricking Tusk
It's also quite gory with excellent make-up effects
GOTTEM
The makeup for the spirits look very convincing and spooky. I had hoped we'd see more of what "the other side" looked like, but the one scene we got was brutally terrifying.
homie no
but i'd talk to them
I wouldn't say a single word to them. I would listen to what they have to say.
Utterly boring pozzed garbage, starring ugly fricking munters.
Utterly contrarian /misc/ish ramblings, from a marblemouth uwutgubnah.
>uwutgubnah
yabba dabba do ya'll! yaas queen slay! SWAH!
Roo frickers can't make horror. Blame their stupid mong accents, blame their ugly mutt faces, blame something.

Ironically, it is the very opposite of pozzed. Its depiction of blacks, black women and trannies is harsh and relentless
No, and I don't understand why anyone would. You can literally sit there for as long as you want and have actual conversations with the ghosts. Why let them possess you?

Every time the "mother" appears she slowly looks more and more decayed.

just got around to watching this, it's a shit teen dude ouija movie but i did love the ending, very creative.
How did she end up in Greece?
why does it looks like vegas?
No. I'm not a risk taker and my life, especially as a man, has suffered greatly for it.
You learned from the experience. For people who don't go through these ordeals, horror movies are a cautionary/cathartic lesson
