This much-lauded Australian horror/thriller opens with a shockingly attention-grabbing scene before switching to newly-bereaved Mia and a freaky party game that involves a cursed embalmed hand that allows spirits to enter the participant, but which can have very unpleasant consequences, particularly for Mia. Focusing on a very entertaining, grounded and contemporary-feeling set of teens, as the possession game becomes an obsession, like a Jordan Peele version of Flatliners, the film offers more serious and provocative situations with some very alarming moments and images. Talk To Me is simple, efficient and well-made all round, justifying its word-of-mouth cult status, and it is a superior indie chiller that over-delivers.
