Talk to Me (Or Better We Don't Talk)
I've been into horror and thriller movies lately. Apart from the ones I've already watched, there are others I've added to my watch list and I'll watch them all in order as I find time. Actually, I'm aware that watching the same genre movies in a row will create a disadvantage in terms of viewing pleasure, but I don't care about that because my mood at that moment is effective in choosing the genre I want to watch and I enjoy the movies that are successfully made in the genre I want to watch more.
After 10 years as a youtuber, brothers Danny and Michael Philippou directed their first feature film, Talk to Me, and I was very interested after the preview. Made in #Australia, the movie perfectly handles the theme of horror through a mummified and unknown hand.
In the scenes where a group of young people show courage in order to explore their sense of curiosity and fulfillment, it is possible to smell the fear and predict the chaos that the next step will create. I liked the fear and the tension created through fear, a simple subject is diversified quite successfully with the added details. While it is possible to feel the fear and tension while watching the movie, it is also possible to see the efforts of the characters who drag each other into mistakes, which makes the story flow.
Letting someone from the spirit world, with whom it is thought to be in contact, use your body for a while and believing that if you stay in your body after 90 seconds, you will belong to him, adds a lot of tension to the movie. The fluidity of the story is successfully ensured by the characters egging each other on to show courage and the plot that spirals out of control immediately afterwards. For the viewer, the pleasure of watching continues to increase.
The horror created by a severed hand, which is used as the main element at the beginning of the story, gives way to the tension created by events that get out of control as the story progresses. Up to this point, I would definitely use the word “excellent” for the movie, but at the end of the movie, when the reason for the declining horror and suspense turns into a character's family showdown, the momentum of the story and the pleasure of watching the movie decreases.
The movie deserves a better ending. I wish the family showdown of a single character had not been included at the end of the film or the showdown had been presented in color from the very beginning of the story. Another detail I can say about the movie Talk to Me is that it can break down the prejudice that exists in some professional groups against those who create content and earn money on the internet. Of course, this has more to do with the directors than the movie and in this sense I appreciate the efforts of brothers Danny and Michael Philippou.
For those who love the horror genre, I recommend watching Talk to Me as the movie successfully blends horror and suspense. Also, the movie has the feel of a teen movie in some aspects and the story flowed well. I think you will enjoy it more if you can overlook the odd mistakes and some gaps at the end of the story.
Thank you for being here and reading. I wish everyone who will watch the movie a good time and goodbye!
