Talk to me review

 So i went and saw Talk to me by A24 and i must say it was alright. As an David horror movie freak and. Suspense and thriller type girl i was not horrified to say the least but i was enjoying the movie as a whole. 

  First the beginning scene is pretty sad if you ask me. A brother runs through a party to find his younger brother locked himself in a room speaking crazy and talking as if the spirits are guiding him to commit horrible acts. Big bro busts down the door to find little brother in there starts to walk off and then BAM. I wont spoil the rest but needless to say the beginning had promise.

  Now lets talk about the plot and for a warning i wont say to many things to give to many spoilers but there may be a few. So be warned before you continue to read this. Anywho, so the plot was pretty basic, girl and dad live alone and mother passed away ( you will see how in the movie but it again is basic). Girl is sad about her mother passing. Girl and best friend are hanging out watching videos about this haunted hand that makes you see, connect, and let the dead in for a limited time. Of course their are some rules you must not be connected to the hand for more than 90 seconds or they will stay in your body. Pretty easy to understand. So girl and her friend are going to hang out with her best friend’s boyfriend ( who was the girls ex boyfriend dun dun duuuuuuuuuuun). The best friends little brother of course wants to tag along turns out he is very close to the girl like her little brother as well.  The mother of the best friend ,being fully aware that her daughter is about to go out and hang out with her boyfriend and her friend, tells her to be safe and provides as little comic relief as she lets her know no sex, no drugs, no drinking. The girl convinces the best friend to go to a party where they are going to be using the hand at to see what it is like.   The little brother who maybe is a few years younger than the girls tags along as well.  

  After they head to the party. Then you find out a lot of people think the girl is weird and you meet a new batch of kids who become a part of the story as well. They all gather around and the hand is placed on the table and they ask if anyone wants to do it. Since it is the day of the girls moms death she decided she would be the one to do it. So she does and she sits down and places her hand on it and immediately sees someone , obviously this someone is dead, she freaks out a bit but then she continues and says the words talk to me. then we all know what happens. The spirit enters the body things happen and then 90 seconds later they release her hand and blow the candle out so the spirit will leave and go back to the other world. She explains that it felt intoxicating and she enjoyed the feeling almost like a drug. 

  After that they go home and the little brother obviously a little freaked out because the spirit talked directly to him through he girl for a second ends up going to sleep with the girl on the pull out couch. They talk a bit and have a heart to heart and then fall asleep. Skip to the girl wants to do it again and this time they end up doing it at the girls best friend’s house. Her mom goes to work tells her no parties …as if am i right.. and again no getting her daughter pregnant and blah blah mom stuff ( same stuff i would be saying lol ) then she leaves for work. The new set of kids from the party come over and bring the hand. They all get out their phones and start recording as they all start using the hand. They are all having a good time and laughing ( however the best friend decides not to do it ) then all of the sudden the little brother and his friend ant to do it. The sister says no ( with good reason) however after some convincing the girl says ok but not for the full90 seconds. So he sits down and gets strapped in and he places his hand on the hand and says talk to me. The entity enters the body and he starts to speak…looking at the girl he speaks to her in what sounds like her mothers tone. She then starts talking to what she thinks is her mother and wont let them pull the boy away from the hand causing it to exceed the time limit and the boy ends up letting the entities in for too long because of th girl. He then proceeds to bash his head into the table until he is bloody everywhere he even tries to pull his own eye out. He is rushed to the hospital and then the sister and mom are pissed at the girl The best friend knows it was the girls fault and has every right to be mad at her of course.and this is where i am going to stop giving you details lol. 

  I will say from there the whole situation gets twisted and turned and the girls mind because twisted and she is being driven nuts. All in all it was a good movie. Was is scary not so much to me but it did have a few jump scares and some creep factor to it. I would definitely watch it again. I did enjoy it and the ending is also sad but good.

So scoring on creep factor 5/10 

On scare factor. 4/10

Suspense  5//10

Overall plot 6/10

So i would say its pretty in the middle. Not scary kinda predictable but over all a good movie and would watch and recommend!!
