Talk to Me

"It Follows," "Split," "Don't Breathe," "Heredity," "Get Out," and "Us" for me, rank as the best horror films of the last decade. "Talk to Me," is now too on this list of exceptional films. "I see dead people," the famous line uttered by Haley Joel Osment in "The Sixth Sense." There is a lot of seeing dead people in "Talk to Me." It's kind of the point of the film. What's it all about? Well there is this hand (more like hand and forearm) that looks like a store window mannequin hand that has been scratched up. Teenagers carry it around in duffle bag and pull it out for a good time of let's-talk-to-the-dead. When one of these kids shakes hands a kind of portal to an undead netherworld opens and they get to see the underbelly of hell. When this happens, the kid gripping the hand experiences a zombie like DMT trip while all the kids in the room film it on their cell phones. Everyone takes a turn except for young Riley. His sister thinks he is too young. Well when she leaves, Riley has a turn. It doesn't go so well. I don't want to tell you any more about this movie. Go see it! It's original, smart, and Australian! Oh, and it's scary as shit! In theatres now.
